Context usage counter missing from terminal status bar

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened May 5, 2026 by sasha-yousefi Closed May 7, 2026

Description

The context usage counter (e.g., "8% left before auto compaction") that normally appears near the bottom-right of the terminal UI is no longer showing.

Expected Behavior

A counter/indicator should appear in the terminal status bar showing the percentage of context window remaining before auto-compaction kicks in.

Environment

  • Claude Code in terminal (not VS Code extension)
  • Linux (5.19.0-45-generic)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a Claude Code session in the terminal
  2. Have a conversation that uses some context
  3. Look at the bottom-right of the terminal — no context usage indicator is visible

Notes

The terminal width is sufficient to display the status bar items. The counter was previously visible in earlier versions.
