Thanks for the update — especially Composer 1, it’s fantastic!

Could you please bring back the percentage indicator for the current context usage? I can’t seem to find an option to enable it anymore.

**UPD:** sorry, this is not the same. This is a limit inside $20 for PRO, but it’s not context window usage

Hi, same here. It is important to monitor the contex usage of the current chat. Could you bring it back?

Thanks for your reply, but you misunderstood my question. I am asking about the context window within a chat and NOT the overall usage of ones plan.

If you expand the chat interface it will show a small pie chart of the usage (you can hover over that to see the exact percantage)

I would like to have an option to always see the exact percentage without hovering
