Has the token consumption rate increased?

For the past 9 months or so, I’ve been mostly getting by on the Pro $20/m plan.

2 months ago, I upgraded to Pro+, and it was fine for the first while - my usage has increased, but not drastically.

Today I’m noticing I’ve burned through 44% of my Pro+ usage in 3 days, having mostly used “Auto”, some Composer-1 and GPT-5.2.

There’s something very wrong here, and it doesn’t seem proportional to my usage, given my previous rate of consumption. At the same rate, I would have burned through the Pro plan in 1.5 evenings of coding - how is that useful to anyone?!

This is 3 days of coding for a few hours in the evening, and I’m almost halfway through Pro+, which is apparently 3x the usage limit of Pro.
