Ask the main bot: which routines are burning tokens?
Cool routines you forgot about still wake and burn weekly usage.
What hurt
Ben Newton (@BenENewton) tips: ask your main bot to have everyone report any routines using up tokens. You'll find ones that sounded cool when you built them and you forgot about. Pair with pausing or killing after you review. Not affiliated with xAI.
