Claude Code users can now track token usage and costs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Claude Code offers users tools to monitor their token usage and associated costs, both within interactive sessions and for headless runs. The `/usage` command provides an in-session breakdown of input, output, and cache tokens per model, along with estimated dollar totals. For programmatic use, the `--output-format json` flag with `claude -p` offers a `total_cost_usd` field and per-model cost details. It's important to note that these figures are local estimates and do not reflect the actual bill, which can be found on the Claude Console's Usage page. Additionally, tools like `ccusage` can provide daily token reports on a Mac, distinguishing between session-based and account-wide usage limits. AI

IMPACT Provides users with greater transparency and control over their AI model consumption and associated expenses.
