What variant of Codex are you using?
codex cli
What feature would you like to see?
I would like to propose adding a new event to --json output to log token usage per LLM request, so that accurate cost can be calculated, based on pricing model listed here -> https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing?latest-pricing=standard
The new event that I am proposing should looks like this
{"type":"request.completed","response_id":"resp-abc123","usage":{"input_tokens":280000,"cached_input_tokens":100000,"output_tokens":1500,"reasoning_output_tokens":0}}
Currently, only per turn token usage are logged.
