I’ve got a client call today and I’m effectively blocked because Claude Code is unusable right now. I’m on Max 5x. As you can see in the attached GIF, my current session usage was at 49% and a slow silent consumption keeps going on. So the issue doesn’t look like normal weekly exhaustion. It looks like something inside the current Claude Code session is burning context extremely fast. I’ve disconnected MCP servers, tried reducing background activity and waited for my weekly limits to reset, but the same issue keeps coming back. Even when I’m barely doing anything, the session usage climbs very quickly. I’m trying to work out whether this is caused by bloated claude.md files, duplicated project context, hidden MCP activity, background indexing, prompt injection or something else repeatedly loading into context. Has anyone built a practical way to audit what Claude Code is actually consuming? I’m not looking for generic advice like “wait for your limits to reset” or “upgrade the plan”. I need to understand what is consuming the tokens so I can fix the setup and get back to client work. Any transparent breakdown, diagnostic approach or tool/plugin idea would be really appreciated.

Honestly I kept forgetting the folder structure, the hook events, where mcp.json goes Finally someone laid it all out on one page Saved it, printed it, done If you're building with Claude Code and don't have this pinned somewhere you're making it harder than it needs to be :)

Hope everyone’s having a productive day 👊 What’s one thing you’re working on right now?

I've started working my way through the 7-Day Challenge in the Classroom - Just got a first draft of a landing page re-design done which is amazing! I had what seemed like every issue in the "book" come up... I didn't have Git installed, then didn't have node installed, then there were some issues with VS Code and Claude working together nicely... but I'm learning that the way to be successful is to keep bashing my head against every challenge until the challenge gives way! QUESTION: There's a step for Day 1 that says: Meet the Builders Community Introduce yourself in the community thread. Share what you're hoping to build, your experience level, and what brought you here. You'll see other builders doing the same — these are the people you'll be sharing your work with over the next 7 days. Is the Meet the Builders Community a separate thing in this group? Or, does that just mean to post to the General Discussion?

Anthropic just released the advisor strategy, and it's a big deal for anyone building with Claude. Instead of running every task through Opus, you can pair it as an advisor with a cheaper model like Sonnet or Haiku doing the actual work. In this video I built a dashboard to test how it performs across easy, medium, and hard prompts, and I also show you how to use the same idea inside Claude Code with opus plan mode to stretch your session limit further.
