Yep, agree. We added a little "/clear to save XXX tokens" notice in the bottom right, and will keep iterating on this. Thanks for being an early user!

But.. that doesn't solve the problem of having no indication in-session when it'll lose the cache. A nudge to /clear does nothing to indicate "or else face significant cost" nor does it indicate "your cache is stale".

Love the product. <3

Instead of showing actual usage, costs and cache status you spent two months denying the issue even exists, making the product silently worse, and now you're "iterating on this"

To add to this. The new indicator is "New task? /clear to save <X> tokens" even though it affects all tasks, not just new ones.

Mislead, gaslight, misdirect is the name of the game
