claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Misleading session cost display causes unexpected cutoffs on Pro plan [3 comments, 3 participants]

1. Warn users before cutting them off mid-session — not after

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by modifying the UI to clearly label the session cost display as informational only and adding a visible indicator of actual usage limits.

Guidance

• Review the current implementation of the cost counter and consider removing it or adding a clear label to indicate it's for informational purposes only.
• Implement a visible indicator to show users their actual usage limits and when they are approaching them.
• Develop a warning system to notify users before they are cut off mid-session, providing a better user experience.
• Consider adding a tooltip or hover text to explain the purpose of the cost counter and how it relates to the user's plan.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue is more related to UI design and user experience.

Notes

The solution requires changes to the UI and potentially the backend to track and display usage limits. The exact implementation details are not provided in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the UI to clearly label the session cost display and add a visible indicator of actual usage limits, as this addresses the user's concerns about transparency and trust in the product.
