@madisoncDon’t hit continue after an hour away from your coding agent. The session cache dies at exactly 60 minutes, so that first message back has to rebuild everything from scratch. Compared to working uninterrupted: coffee break is 1.3x, a call 1.6x, lunch 13x. A brand‑new session costs 4.5x, still better than reviving a dead one. Before you walk off, ask it to “summarize where we are.” Then paste that summary into a fresh window after lunch. Measured over 110 sessions and 46,580 turns of my own Claude Code. #ClaudeCode #AI

This is a data visualization about the cost of using a coding agent. The image displays two bar charts illustrating the cost of sending messages to a coding agent based on how long the user has been away. The mood is informative and analytical, with a clean, minimalist aesthetic. A notable detail is the orange arrow pointing to the tallest bar, indicating that the cache holding the session dies at 60 minutes. ON-SCREEN TEXT: Left your coding agent for an hour? Don't hit continue. Claude Code · 110 of my own sessions · 46,580 turns · one month Send the exact same message. This is what it costs. compared with sending it while you're still working So after lunch, pick one cost of that same first message the cache holding your session dies at 60 minutes 1x you never left under 5 min 1.3x you got coffee 5-15 min 1.6x you had a call 15-60 min
