Here's how to never run out of Claude tokens. First, stop letting your sessions get massive. Every time you send a message to Claude, the system counts the tokens in your input (your prompt), any uploaded documents, system insert prompts, and the tokens in Claude's output (its response). Both sides of the exchange matter for billing and usage limits. So your token usage compounds, especially if it uncashes. Second, clear your sessions way earlier. Most people wait until the context window is almost full, but by then Claude's already gotten worse, forgetting things, contradicting itself, and burning tokens from context rot. Third, use subagents. Instead of one giant session doing everything, spin up smaller agents for research, summaries, or reviews. Way cheaper. Fourth, if Claude goes down the wrong path, don't keep correcting it. Use slash rewind instead of polluting the context with failed attempts. That alone saves a ridiculous amount of tokens. Bigger context windows don't fix this, they just create worse habits. So just comment VIBE and I'll send you my vibecode tool.
