What

Claude Code keeps a list of things that can drive up the cost of a session, sorted by cost. Four entries are added to the existing ones for heavy subagent use, many parallel tasks and scheduled tasks:

  • max_effort
  • workflow
  • always_on_context
  • large_tool_results
Why

Breakdowns of usage or cost can now put spending down to these causes.
