What's Wrong?

When using Claude Code through the VS Code extension with OpenTelemetry / metrics collection enabled, the claude_code.active_time.total metric is not collected or exported.

Other Claude Code metrics appear to be collected normally, but claude_code.active_time.total is missing from the exported METRICS data when the session is started from VS Code.

What Should Happen?

The metric claude_code.active_time.total should be present and should increase according to the active time spent using Claude Code in the VS Code extension
