Claude Code now shows exactly why it burned your tokens, and I finally stopped guessing
The /cost is quite helpful.
Claude Code now provides a cost command that shows exactly how many tokens have been used. A user discovered that leaving conversations open and returning to them later was costing them a significant number of tokens.
The new cost command provides detailed information on token usage, allowing users to track their costs. According to Dev.to, a plugin called quota-audit can also be used to break down usage per project and per skill, showing the exact times a rate limit was hit and which project was blocked.
Some companies, including Meta and Microsoft, are working to reduce their employees' use of Claude. Meta employees using Claude Code have dropped to around 30,000 from 60,000 earlier in the year, according to The Information, as reported by Techmeme.
