What we missed was "before I continue" and some checks and balances. We burn context, tokens, credit, and tool usage insanely fast with 4.7 with about 50% error rate. Has anyone experienced this? I just did a switch to 4.6 3 hours into a large task that kept failing with 4.7...

Hi, A few hours ago we started seeing unauthorized charges coming out of our company card. This card was only provided when purchasing Claude Max.
