Bug Description My usage skyrocketed compared to just a few days ago. I am using the same workflows as 2 days ago as a Max X5 user and since yesterdays incident what would normally not even hit my usage limits for 5 hours, I now hit my usage limits in 90 minutes. This increased usage limits have been persistent since yesterdays incident

extent analysis

TL;DR

Review recent workflow changes or system updates to identify the cause of the sudden increase in usage.

Guidance

  • Investigate any changes made to workflows or system configurations since the incident yesterday to determine if they are contributing to the increased usage.
  • Check for any background processes or tasks that may be running unexpectedly and consuming resources.
  • Compare system resource utilization before and after the incident to identify any anomalies.
  • Consider monitoring system usage in real-time to better understand the cause of the increased usage.

Notes

The issue lacks specific technical details, making it challenging to provide a precise solution. Further investigation into system changes and resource utilization is necessary to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Monitor system usage and investigate recent changes to identify the cause of the increased usage, as there is no clear indication of a version-related issue that would suggest an upgrade.
