5 easy tips to stop burning through you claude.ai tokens.

• Start a new chat for new topics. Every message in a thread forces Claude to re-read the entire history.

• Set a format upfront. Tell Claude how to respond: "bullet points only," "one paragraph," "under 100 words.". Say "be concise" or "one paragraph max" explicitly.

• Use the right model for the task. Simple questions don't need the most powerful model.

• Avoid open-ended questions. Ask open ended questions, get open ended answers.

• If you're iterating on a draft, paste only the relevant section rather than the full document every time.

Bottom line: be precise in your prompts and ask Claude to do the same. .
