I finally quit Claude Code.

The token burn has become completely absurd.

Today, a single Sonnet 4.6 interaction consumed around 70% of my entire 5-hour usage limit, and instead of actually fixing the code, it just generated plain-text instructions telling me how to fix it manually.

When I pointed out that it should have applied the fix itself, the agent basically spiraled into incoherent backtracking and hit 100% usage in the middle of the second prompt.

At this point Claude Code feels less like an engineering tool and more like a very expensive random failure generator.
