What's Wrong?
After integrating third-party models that follow Anthropic’s API format, the JSON files saved in the ~\.claude\projects folder for each session always show input_tokens and output_tokens as 0. However, before version 2.1.6 this did not happen, and the statistics were correct. This affects my ability to track the current conversation context length. Third-party API users in Claude Code can no longer find any way to view the current context length. Please fix this issue 🥹 — it’s very important to us.
What Should Happen?
input_tokens and output_tokens should not be 0.
