Tip: Claude Code's /usage Now Breaks Down by Loop, So Runaway Background Tasks Are Visible
Releasebot·medium signal
Version 2.1.243 (Releasebot dates it 2026-08-25) adds a Loops breakdown to /usage showing per-loop run count, total tokens, tokens per run and last run. If you run self-pacing /loop tasks or scheduled agents, this is the first built-in way to see which one is quietly burning the quota rather than reconstructing it from transcripts. The same release adds the model and effort level each subagent ran on to /tasks and the agent detail dialogs.
