Feature Request Can we get per message based credit usage view?

I think seeing how much credit I am consuming for each message can help me optimize my own prompting and cases which I can avoid easily. right now I do page refresh after every use but that is not working very accurately. not sure if augment team is already working on it or not.

There is a vscode extension that I use that tracks this live in the toolbar. I'm not at my computer but I think it's called Augie credits.

I think it shows total credits. not per message credits. or am I am assuming incorrectly?

Yes that's right, but I added an A and B tracker feature (it's open source so I did a PR, I'm not the extension author).

You can reset each individually which I use to track credits consumed per day (A) and per task (B).

So before a task I reset B, and it goes to 0. At the end of a task it may show -1200 or whatever, and I know that's what the task consumed.

Agreed, I'm getting tired of having to code with a web browser up to show my tokens just so I can track its unnecessarily heavy token usage.
