To avoid reasoning token shock, it would be cheaper to say "thinking too much"

A dark-themed interface shows a small panel with tokenization statistics. At the top, it reads “Tokens 8” and “Characters 39.” Below, two lines of text display color-coded tokens. The first line reads “thinking too much,” with each word highlighted in a different shade. The second line reads “reasoning token shock,” similarly color-coded. The visual emphasizes how a phrase is broken into discrete tokens and counted.
