Summary

Speakeasy's new feature for Claude Code sessions provides detailed cost tracking by offering turn-level usage insights, allowing users to see the specific token consumption for each interaction in their chat logs. This feature addresses the challenge of unclear billing by breaking down token usage into input, output, cache reads, and tool calls, enabling users to identify which parts of a session are consuming resources. The system utilizes Claude Code's OpenTelemetry logs to aggregate data per-turn and per-tool, enhancing cost control and observability. With this level of detail, users can differentiate between meaningful work and overhead costs, improving their ability to manage expenses effectively. This capability is seamlessly integrated into existing systems without requiring additional configuration, offering a clearer understanding of resource consumption and facilitating actionable insights for teams operating Claude Code at scale.
