I'm mind blown people are complaining about token consumption and not communicating what thinking level they're using - if cost is a concern and you're paying any attention, you'd be starting with medium and seeing if you can get better results with less tokens. Every person complaining about token usage seem to have no methodology - probably using max and completely oblivious.

It's unsurprising when this is the first day that tokens have been crazy like this.

All of us doing crazy agentic stuff were fine on max before this. Now with Opus 4.7, we're no longer fine, and troubleshooting, and working through options.
