What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

I hate to be difficult but I much preferred seeing the true % context used in the status bar. Could we get a setting to switch it back to the true % instead of a bar? I do the same on my iPhone.

It is now back, confirmed. I think the current look is decent now. I have both Context X% used as well as X% context left in the far right when there is text in the box. To me, this is sufficient atm.
