[DOCS] VS Code docs omit `/extra-usage` command now supported in extension sessions
Documentation Type
Incorrect/outdated documentation
Documentation Location

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
/usageand/extra-usagein extension sessions.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
