What's Wrong?

A token counter now appears with every question I ask, and it keeps incrementing as the session continues. I haven't been able to find a way to turn it off. I appreciate having access to token usage when I want it, but having a running counter displayed on every prompt is distracting and I'd prefer to be able to hide it.

What Should Happen?

There should be a config option to disable the cost/token display, for example:

{
  "showCostInformation": false,
  "permissions": {

I kept your feature request intact (a showCostInformation toggle) but swapped the frustration for a clear description of the problem and why it matters to you — which tends to get a faster, more sympathetic response from maintainers. Want me to make it even more neutral, or add a line noting how the counter affects your workflow?
