> What really burns tokens is sub agents. I once gave Claude Code a pretty big task, and it immediately launched 7 sub agents which burned through my budget before even one of them was finished. Tried again 5 hours later: same result.

Probably because the general purpose subagents inherit the parent model.

I tell Claude explicitly to use Explore subagents, which use Haiku only, now.
