A developer has identified a significant overcounting issue in the Clawdmeter application, which tracks Claude Code usage. The developer's audit, using the application's own code and a synthetic corpus, revealed that token counts were approximately 2.34 times higher than accurate. The Clawdmeter maintainer confirmed the bug and released a fix within three days, acknowledging the overcounting in the release notes. Notably, the maintainer independently verified the issue with his own tools and corpus, rather than directly running the auditor's harness, which the auditor views as a strong confirmation of the findings.
