Feature request: /usage command to show token consumption across sessions
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 6, 2026 by matmeira Closed May 10, 2026
Summary
There's currently no way to check token usage across sessions from within Claude Code. The only option is /cost which only covers the current session.
Proposed feature
Add a /usage command (or similar) that shows:
- Tokens used in the current session
- Tokens used today (across all sessions)
- Remaining tokens before hitting the current rate limit
- Reset time for the current limit window
Current workaround
Users have to leave the CLI and go to console.anthropic.com to check usage — which breaks the flow when you're deep in a coding session and just want a quick sanity check before starting a large task.
Why this matters
When working on long tasks or batch operations, it's useful to know how close you are to the limit before committing to a large context operation. Right now it's a blind spot.
