There is an alternative:

  • find the thread id (type /status)
  • open a side chat (type /side) or a new conversation
  • change the model to gpt-5.6-luna (you probly don’t want to use sol for this)
  • ask how many tokens did we use in the thread <thread-id>?

Thanks for the feedback! Codex provides session and account usage views, as outlined in this guide: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/developer-commands.

A breakdown of usage for each prompt, including tool call counts, would help you understand how individual requests contribute to overall usage. We will pass this request along internally, though we cannot promise whether or when it might be added.
