What's Wrong?

  • The /cost command shows costs from the original session but doesn't update when a session is continued after hitting context limits
  • Expected: Cumulative costs including the continuation session
  • Actual: Only shows costs from before the session was summarized and continued
  • Example: Shows 632 input / 39.1k output when actual usage in continuation is ~43k tokens

In fact, in my terminal session /cost didn't output anything - it wasn't until I asked the model why it was blank that I was able to file this bug.

What Should Happen?

Clause should accurately report api costs regardless of how they started being used.
