With increasingly aggressive usage limits (Claude weekly usage now), "agentic" style of token burning seems much less practical to me. Coming from Aider and trying tools like OpenCode, the "use models to discover the relevant

The battery level isn't actually close to dying, in my case it just rapidly depletes from up to 40% when it's very cold. But that 40% remains intact seemingly with the screen off. Could be my phone also, but it has happened often
