[VSCode] Show cost and usage without plan limits

Check account and usage

Run /usage to open the Account & usage dialog. It shows your signed-in account, and the usage it reports differs by sign-in:

• claude.ai plan: usage bars for your plan's limits, such as the current session and the week. Each bar shows how long until its limit resets.

  The dialog also breaks down what is contributing to your plan limits. It flags behaviors that account for 10% or more of recent usage, such as cache misses, long context, and subagent-heavy or highly parallel sessions, each with a tip to reduce it. Attribution tables show how much usage came from each skill, subagent, plugin, and MCP server.

  Use the Day and Week toggle to switch between the last 24 hours and the last 7 days. The figures are approximate and computed from local sessions on this machine, so usage from other devices or claude.ai is not included.

• Other sign-ins: when plan limits don't apply to your sign-in, such as on a third-party provider or with an API key, the Usage section shows the session's own cost and token usage instead. The CLI's /usage shows the same totals in its Session block. The sessions list in the Activity Bar also shows the active session's totals under its Account & usage header. Requires Claude Code v2.1.277 or later.
