claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Visual Studio Code extension: Add token usage display [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Add token usage feedback to the Visual Studio Code Extension to display input and output token usage.

Guidance

• Review the existing code for the Visual Studio Code Extension to identify where token usage data is available or can be calculated.
• Consider adding a new UI component to display the token usage information, such as a status bar or a dedicated panel.
• Determine the best way to track and display the total token usage for the session, potentially using a counter or a logging mechanism.
• Evaluate the feasibility of displaying token usage per request, which may require additional data collection or processing.

Notes

The implementation details will depend on the specific architecture and technology stack of the Visual Studio Code Extension.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add a basic token usage display to the extension, focusing on total session usage, and refine the implementation based on user feedback.
