Sudden increase in token/quota consumption after VS Code update #307894

Type: Performance Issue

I updated VS Code to the latest version yesterday. Since then, while using the same model as before in Codex, I noticed that the 5-hour quota is being exhausted significantly faster than usual. I haven't changed my usage habits, but the quota ran out in a much shorter time.
Observed Behavior:
Before Update: The 5-hour quota usually lasted for a full session of work.
After Update: The quota is consumed rapidly, even with minimal prompts or code changes.
Suspected Causes:
It's possible that the new VS Code version or the plugin update is sending more background context (longer prompts) or triggering redundant API calls.

VS Code version: Code 1.114.0 (e7fb5e9, 2026-04-01T09:27:11Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200
Modes:
Remote OS version: Linux x64 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2
