Walkthrough: Reducing token spend by 80%, a 37-second video and the second of the Project Manager's showcases (title the Owner's, 2026-10-31). It covers the September 19 usage cut. The weekly meter climbed 5 points in an hour, because every message was resending whole conversations. Three changes went in at 07:29, and the meter rose 2 points in the next 2½ hours. The meter line is drawn from the real 15-minute readings. The next day's check, from the conversation logs, found the cut was 7× per turn, not the 5× the meter suggested.
Earlier versions used made-up projects, then a smaller case (October 14, Agents opening extra sessions). The Owner asked for something with more to it: "we have tons of material".
It's drawn frame by frame by a script, so it can be re-made when the loop changes.
