Description
The status bar at the bottom of the Claude Code interface shows different token counts and percentages than the Context Usage panel.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code in a project
- Look at the status bar token count and percentage
- Compare with the Context Usage panel
Expected Behavior
Both displays should show consistent token counts and percentages.
Actual Behavior
- Status bar: 5.4% | 10.8k tokens
- Context Usage panel: 11% | 21k/200k tokens
These values don't match - the percentages differ (5.4% vs 11%) and the token counts differ (10.8k vs 21k).
Environment
- Platform: Windows
- Model: claude-opus-4-5-20251101
