Use Claude smartly
Most people run out of Claude quota too fast.
Not because they use it too much. Because they use it the wrong way.
Here are the Tip's to avoid
1. Start fresh chats when the topic changes.
Claude re-reads your entire conversation every single turn. By message 20, even a short question carries the weight of the 19 messages before it. New topic = new chat. Always.
2. Edit your original prompt instead of piling on follow-ups. Every "actually, can you fix this too" message adds to the history Claude has to re-read. Click edit, rewrite it clearly, resend. Same result, way fewer tokens.
3. Batch your questions into one message.
Instead of asking three things separately, send them together. Claude gets the full picture, you save turns, and the answers are usually better.
4. Use Projects for files you reuse. Uploading the same PDF across four different chats can cost over 180,000 tokens. Upload once into a Project and every conversation references it for very few tokens after that.
5. Turn off features you're not using. Web search, extended thinking, and MCP connectors all burn tokens in the background even when you're not actively using them. Keep them off by default. Turn them on per task.
6. Use the right model for the right task. Opus with extended thinking for a simple email rewrite is one of the fastest ways to drain your weekly limit. Haiku and Sonnet handle most tasks just fine.
