Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

I have weirdly increased consume on my PRO plan. I used to work a lot with 5.4 x2 speed and 5.3 and never reached more than 50% of the weekly usage, even tho I am coding every day. Now for the first time I see 5% of usage left, and the renewal expected May 5, so in 3 days, which is weird since I have not started to work more, I have switched to version 5.5 x2 speed.

is this a usage bug, or version related?

    The 5.5 model is charged at a higher rate. See this information for details.
