What's Wrong?

The "Worked for X time" duration indicator that appeared at the end of each response was silently removed in version 2.1.2. This feature showed useful information like ✻ Worked for 1m 25s after Claude finished responding.

The removal is not mentioned in the 2.1.2 changelog.

Before (2.1.1):

What Should Happen?

The duration indicator should either:

1. Be restored (preferred, as it was useful for understanding how long tasks take)
2. If intentionally removed, be documented in the changelog so users know the change was deliberate

Error Messages/Logs

N/A - no error, the feature is simply missing.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Claude Code 2.1.2
2. Run any prompt that takes some time to complete
3. Observe that the "Worked for X time" indicator no longer appears at the end of the response
4. Compare with 2.1.1 behavior where the indicator was present

Additional Information

This was a helpful feature for:

• Understanding task duration for billing/cost estimation
• Knowing when complex tasks actually finished vs. when output finished streaming
• General awareness of Claude's processing time

If this removal was intentional, it would be good to document it in the changelog and potentially offer it as a configurable option.
