In Episode 9, Paul hits his usage limit and ends up grounded on the couch. Limits are a fact of most AI plans; running into them mid-task is optional.
Spend wisely
- Do the thinking first. Plan the change and gather the context before the heavy session.
- Save the strongest model for the hardest parts. Use lighter tools for routine edits.
- Batch small requests into one clear prompt instead of ten quick ones.
- Know when your limits reset, and schedule big sessions accordingly.
Most usage goes to retries and long, wandering sessions. Cut those, and the limit rarely shows up.
