Claude Code usage is hard to budget when work spans projects, sessions and models. Start with the built-in view, then inspect local history if you need trends.
The problem
Claude Code usage is hard to budget when work spans projects, sessions and models. Start with the built-in view, then inspect local history if you need trends.
Native approach
Run `/usage` (alias `/cost`) inside Claude Code to see the current session’s estimated cost, plan usage limits and activity stats. The session dollar figure is a local estimate; check the Claude Console or your plan page for billing.

Local transcript analyzers estimate spend from recorded token use; treat provider billing as the source of truth.

Does `/usage` break down spend by project?
No. Its session cost covers the current session; use a history analyzer for per-project trends.
Are local cost estimates invoices?
No. Pricing, caching and plan rules can differ from a local estimate.
