FAQPage Schema

How do I track real-time token cost and burn rate for my current session?▼

Track real-time session cost and burn rate by running the /cost command, which reads Claude Code session files to calculate token-level costs for your current activity. It uses pricing references to present an immediate cost report.

How do I calculate historical token costs for today, the week, or all-time?▼

Calculate historical token costs for today, week, or all-time by analyzing Claude Code session files and campaign attribution data. The tool generates historical summaries to support budgeting and cost audits.

What happens to session cost tracking when real billing data is unavailable?▼

When real billing data is unavailable, session cost tracking applies estimated costs as a fallback. It uses scripts/pricing.json for pricing references to ensure continuous cost awareness and spend optimization.

Can I audit token spend and budget for specific feature testcases?▼

You can audit token spend and budget for specific feature testcases by tracing costs to individual campaigns or sessions. This per-campaign analysis evaluates cost-per-outcome and supports precise spend optimization.
