Option to display timing and token usage without verbose debug logs
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Aug 22, 2025 by yochKo Closed Aug 25, 2025
Currently, the CLI has an all-or-nothing approach for displaying additional information:
- verbose false: No timing or token usage displayed
- verbose true: Shows timing/tokens BUT also shows all debug logs
Expected Behavior:
Users should be able to see timing and token usage information without being flooded with
verbose debug logs.
Current Workaround:
- Use /cost command periodically, but this doesn't show timing
- Enable verbose mode and tolerate all the extra logs
Suggested Solution:
Add a separate config option like show_metrics or make timing/token display independent
from verbose logging.
Use Case:
Many users want to monitor their usage and performance without needing full debug output
for troubleshooting.
