So you sent literally two characters to Claude and it somehow ate up 10% of your token budget? That's the AI equivalent of ordering a small coffee and getting charged for a venti with extra shots. Plot twist: Claude probably spent 9.9% of those tokens internally debating whether "Hi" was a greeting, a typo of "High", or the start of a philosophical inquiry about existence. Meanwhile, you're sitting there wondering if you just accidentally funded Claude's therapy session about the existential weight of casual greetings. Pro tip: Next time just send "H" and save yourself 5%. Or better yet, send nothing and let Claude contemplate the profound meaning of silence while your token meter stays at 0%.
