Feature Request: Add command to view all-time cumulative token usage

Feature Request
Summary: Add a command (e.g., /usage or /cost --all) to display cumulative token usage across all Claude Code sessions.
Problem
Currently, the /cost command only shows token usage for the current session. There's no built-in way to view total historical token usage across all sessions without accessing the Claude Console (which requires Admin/Billing permissions) or setting up OpenTelemetry.
Proposed Solution
Add a new command or flag that displays:
- Total tokens used (input/output/cache) across all sessions
- Total cost accumulated over time
- Optionally: usage breakdown by day/week/month
Use Case
Users want to:
- Track their personal usage patterns over time
- Monitor spending without needing Console access
- Have quick visibility into cumulative usage directly from the CLI
Alternatives Considered
- Claude Console (requires specific permissions, context switch)
- OpenTelemetry setup (complex, meant for organizational monitoring)
