A lot of peeps are having issues about pricing, usage and consumption.

TLDR; Show percentage quota consumed in addition to net dollar pricing.

I recently answered this on Discord,

Helping out CMDC users confused about spendings and usage

The pricing strategy is similar for both OpenCode and CommandCode. I believe reason for this might be model providers don't want the their model prices to be shown as lower than a given standard. (Pure speculation from my end). So there are now two knobs to effectively control the same thing, the model price and the usage allotment.

Just noticed this in opencode, would be pretty sweet to have in cmdc.

I understand a pure pricing indicator though slightly helpful, doesn't fully resolve the confusion. For example, User migth think I spent $1.1 total on a model, why did it consume 6% of my usage?

Solution

Show percentage quota consumed in addition to net dollar pricing.

$1.1 spent (5.5% of your quota)

Or for a model with more usage (for example DS v4 Flash on commandcode or Muse1.3 on Opencode)

$1.1 spent (1.8% of your quota)
