A developer’s experiment suggests Anthropic may be silently injecting thousands of tokens into Claude Code requests, and users’ usage limits are taking the hit.
ccaudit — Claude Code Token Usage Explorer
ccaudit is a terminal UI for exploring how Claude Code spends your token budget. It reads the JSONL session logs that Claude Code writes to
~/.claude/projects/and breaks down token usage by session, exchange, and content category.
Why observability matters
When Claude Code runs autonomously — spawning subagents, calling tools, reading files, executing commands — you have no visibility into what’s actually happening. The terminal shows a fraction of the activity. Subagents are invisible. Tool calls blur together. And when something goes wrong three agents deep in a parallel execution, you’re left reading through logs after the fact.
Claude Observe captures every hook event as it happens and streams it to a live dashboard. You see exactly what each agent is doing, which tools it’s calling, what files it’s touching, and how subagents relate to their parents.
