/usage

Shows API usage, token counts, and spending.

Aliases: /cost, /stats.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Regular cost overview

Call /usage to keep an eye on token counts and spend before starting a bigger task.

Trace the cost of an expensive task

After a long /batch run or agent loop, check /usage to see what it cost.

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

Checking the session's context window usage

/usage shows API usage/cost, not how full the current context window is.

Better: Use /context for context usage as a colored grid.
