I suspect success with coding agents is inversely correlated to the average number of tokens per session.

From observing online conversations, it seems like many people are having lengthy multitask sessions, use numerous skills tools mcps, and far too many tokens per session. Many people are also complaining about usage limits and pointing fingers outward, which is a symptom of the same.

I’m a bit puzzled. My intuition is popular agent harnesses and general usage are veering off track.
