Feature request - show token and credit usage

When working on complex task, quota usage is variable and sometimes hard to predict. Esp.. when using frontier models like Astra, task can eat a substantial part of weekly quota.

It would be very handy if I could show summary of token usage for a given task. This already seems to be done for tasks with a goal set, which show time and token, but even with them it seems unreliable, I have be show a summary claiming working time 2 seconds and the end of a goaled task which took several hours.

Even better than token usage would be “credit” or quota usage, but not in real credits, but how much the task ate of my quota. Percentage of weekly quota would do fine. This would give me an easy way to check which model is appropriate for your task.

@ondrejsp, thanks for sharing this. Being able to see per-task token usage, or even better, the percentage of weekly quota a task consumed, would make it much easier to understand usage and choose the right model for future tasks.

I’m sending this feedback to the team for logging, including the note about existing time/token summaries sometimes appearing inaccurate. We appreciate and value your feedback. While we can’t promise implementation or provide a timeline, we’re grateful you shared it with us. We’re closing this topic while keeping it visible for reference.
