The Scenario
You are working on a large-scale project and need to ensure your intensive AI coding sessions stay within your monthly API budget.
Before & after
The old way
Checking your AI spending usually requires logging into a web dashboard, navigating to billing, and interpreting usage graphs, taking 5+ minutes.
With AI
Type /stats to see an instant summary of your daily and session-based token costs, allowing you to manage your budget in seconds.
The Prompt
/stats
This is particularly useful for developers using high-end models like Qwen 2.5 or 3 where token costs can accumulate during long debugging sessions.
