What issue are you seeing?
Since a recent upgrade, I no longer see the % left of the context window. I noticed that this may be intentional as we now have decent auto-compaction, but in the cli I like to have more control myself rather than this being abstracted away. Sometimes the agent does start acting "drunk" and I rather have control over this as to continue like that, or start a new session. I sometimes rather do either my own /compact when I want, or even instructing the agent to write a Handoff.md for the next agent, but I prefer to do this myself and not rely on auto-compaction.
Having more control, is the reason I prefer the cli over codex desktop too. Thank you for your consideration.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
% usage / tokens left in context window is not longer shown.
What is the expected behavior?
I can see the % usage as before
Additional information
As a cli user I like to have more control over the "raw machine", not too much, like we had to decide before the temperature, but with the token window I rather not auto handle that.
