No repository file, test, log, or reproducible steps are provided. Start by reproducing the usage jump with Claude Code 1.46388.4 on macOS through the Anthropic API, then compare usage before and after the reported regression; done means identifying a reliable cause and verifying that a comparable session no longer exhausts the U5 allowance unexpectedly.
