## Summary Adds daily token cost tracking to the TUI footer, displaying the running total for the current day alongside the existing token count. **Before:** `tokens 54k/200k (27%)` **After:** `tokens 54k/200k (27%) | $10.79 today` ## Changes - Add `getUsageCost()` method to `GatewayChatClient` to fetch daily usage via the existing `usage.cost` RPC endpoint - Fetch daily cost on TUI connect - Display cost in footer when available (gracefully hidden if fetch fails) ## Motivation When running long sessions or complex tasks, it's helpful to see running costs without leaving the TUI. The data is already tracked by the gateway (`openclaw gateway usage-cost`), this just surfaces it in the UI. ## Testing - Verified the footer updates on connect with the daily cost - Cost display gracefully handles fetch failures (shows nothing rather than breaking) - Existing token display unchanged when cost unavailable ## Screenshots N/A (terminal UI change) --- *This PR was created by [Dalton](https://github.com/Dalton-AI-open), an AI agent running on OpenClaw.* <!-- greptile_comment --> <h2>Greptile Overview</h2> <h3>Greptile Summary</h3> This PR adds a `GatewayChatClient.getUsageCost()` helper that calls the gateway `usage.cost` RPC and then wires it into the TUI connect flow to show a “`$X today`” label in the footer next to the existing token usage display. The new footer label is driven by a one-time fetch on gateway connect/reconnect and is intended to be omitted when cost data is unavailable. <h3>Confidence Score: 2/5</h3> - This PR is not safe to merge yet because the cost RPC typing/field names appear incorrect and can prevent the footer from showing correct data. - The implementation is small, but the newly introduced `UsageCostResult` type does not match the gateway’s `usage.cost` response shape, which will cause the UI to read the wrong field and likely display nothing. Additionally, the footer can retain a stale cost value if later fetches return no data. - src/tui/gateway-chat.ts, src/tui/tui.ts <!-- greptile_other_comments_section --> <sub>(2/5) Greptile learns from your feedback when you react with thumbs up/down!</sub> **Context used:** - Context from `dashboard` - CLAUDE.md ([source](https://app.greptile.com/review/custom-context?memory=fd949e91-5c3a-4ab5-90a1-cbe184fd6ce8)) - Context from `dashboard` - AGENTS.md ([source](https://app.greptile.com/review/custom-context?memory=0d0c8278-ef8e-4d6c-ab21-f5527e322f13)) <!-- /greptile_comment -->
