Section/Topic

VS Code command menu coverage and slash command reference for usage-related commands.

Current Documentation

The VS Code docs describe command menu options and currently mention:

Options include attaching files, switching models, toggling extended thinking, and viewing plan usage (/usage).

The interactive slash command table currently lists:

| /usage | For subscription plans only: show plan usage limits and rate limit status |

No /extra-usage command entry appears in these docs.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Claude Code v2.1.50 added /extra-usage command support in VS Code sessions, but current docs still only reference /usage.

This makes the new VS Code capability undiscoverable and leaves command behavior differences unclear.

Suggested Improvement

Update VS Code and slash command docs to include /extra-usage:

  • add command menu mention in VS Code docs,
  • add a slash-command table entry (purpose, availability constraints),
  • explain relationship/differences between /usage and /extra-usage in extension sessions.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
