Claude Code /usage breaks down token burn

The addition of `/usage` is a much-needed transparency feature for developers building with Claude Code, especially given the unpredictable costs of autonomous agents.

• –Developers can finally see exactly where their Anthropic plan limits are going, breaking down costs between context size and agent steps.
• –This helps teams optimize their workflows by either limiting context inputs or reducing the autonomy of sub-agents to save money.
• –It highlights a growing industry need for better cost-monitoring tools as LLM integrations move from simple chatbots to complex, multi-step agentic systems.
