I understand your frustration with token consumption in v0. Token usage can vary based on the complexity of requests and the iterative nature of building components.

Here are a few things that might help optimize your v0 experience:

• Be specific in your initial prompts - The more detailed and clear your requirements are upfront, the less back-and-forth needed
• Break down complex requests - Instead of asking for a complete application, try building components incrementally
• Use the QuickEdit feature for small modifications rather than regenerating entire components
• Review the generated code carefully before making additional requests to avoid unnecessary iterations

If you’re consistently experiencing issues with code quality or excessive token usage for basic requests, it would be helpful to share specific examples or a chat URL so we can better understand what’s happening.
