before auto-compaction destroys your session
The invisible tax on your Claude Code subscription

Three problems Anthropic hasn't fixed.

These aren't edge cases. They're reported by thousands of developers who are paying for Claude Code Max right now.

80+ issues · CRITICAL

Silent Token Drain

Screenshots from MCP, code echoing, and context bloat devour your plan silently. You only find out when you've hit the limit.

Most affected: Max Plan users

70+ issues · HIGH

Auto-Compaction Blackout

Mid-task, Claude silently summarizes your conversation. Critical instructions vanish. Planned work gets conflated with completed work.

Most affected: Long sessions

100+ issues · CRITICAL

Zero Usage Visibility

No quota meter. No reset timer. No cost breakdown. Hitting the 5-hour limit in 90 minutes of work — with zero explanation.

Most affected: $200/mo subscribers

Real developer frustration — straight from GitHub issues

"Chrome MCP screenshots accumulate in context, causing extreme token drain. 17% of Max plan burned in 5 trivial turns."

G
GitHub Issue #8421

"Hitting the 5-hour limit in less than 1h30 of actual usage. Max plan subscribers running out of quota unexpectedly with no visibility."

D
GitHub Issue #5892 · 1,180+ comments

"CODE ECHO burns my tokens unneeded. Abandoning Claude — switching to / testing different brand. This is a material breach."

What ContextPilot does

Full visibility. Full control. Every session.

A lightweight layer on top of Claude Code that finally shows you what's happening to your subscription.

Real-Time Token Dashboard

Live token budget meter. See exactly how much of your session limit you've used, what's consuming the most, and how much runway you have left.

Pre-Compaction Warnings

Get alerted before auto-compaction triggers. Checkpoint your session, save critical context, or choose what to preserve — on your terms.

Cost-Per-Session Analytics

Break down your spending by project, task type, and time. Know which workflows are expensive and optimize before you hit the wall.

Smart Context Optimizer

Automatically detect and eliminate token waste: screenshot accumulation, code echoing, context bloat. Keep your sessions lean and efficient.
