Token Counter: Please re-add the token counter #6259
Description
Please re-add the token counter that would count the tokens sending and receiving. Not sure why it was removed as it shows transparency if Claude is actually working (api) or not.

Very much needed - PLEASE allow us to have this back, in non-verbose mode (this mode is not useful for regular work)
Bring back the token counter and elapsed time metric

Hi everyone! We just added a feature to tweakcc to re-enable the token counter and the elapsed time automatically without having to run Claude Code with
--verboseoption. To try it out, just runnpx tweakccand select the top option,*Apply customizations to cli.jsand then runclaude. Enjoy!coygeek commentedon Sep 11, 2025
I'm on v1.0.111 and I can see the token count and timer is back!
bl-ue commentedon Sep 11, 2025
@coygeek For me it still just shows
(esc to interrupt)on a fresh installation of v1.0.111, runningclaude. Are you using--verbose? (Or is there any chance you're using tweakcc?)coygeek commentedon Sep 11, 2025
Im not using verbose or tweakcc.

Interesting! There could be some A/B testing (statsig) then.
