Same for me. $20/mo is just fine and I use it to code daily.

I suspect the people that burn through tokens have several subagents and 50 skills loaded and 40 MCP tools. All those load up the context on every single turn.

Only the front matter of the 50 skills would be loaded, right? 40 MCP tools would be a much larger use of context, right?
