Commandcode extremely high token usage in any other cli than commandcode

I tried using commandcode goat with claude code or opencode but the token usage is like 100x higher i got billed 30m tokens on a 250k token conversation something is severly wrong but im just using stock opencode and claude code I've already looked at cache hits but its near 99%, anyone had a similiar problem and know how to fix it?

Claude Code is one of the most inefficient harnesses, might be one factor. But basically 2 turns or 250 turns.... That does not seem like being the same prompt

Okay but like im also not getting this same issue with other API's for example opencode go or deepseek direct API they both are within reason but commandcode goes completley off the rails all in the same harness with the same model and same prompt
