To always display cost and model information in Claude Code, use ccusage statusline in the custom status line below the chat area.

Status Line Settings - Claude Code Docs

Setup

Recommended: Edit the configuration file directly

Add the following to .claude/settings.json.

For Node.js

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "npx ccusage@latest statusline"
  }
}

For Bun

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "bun x ccusage@latest statusline"
  }
}

Alternative: Use the /statusline command

To have Claude Code set this up for you, use the /statusline slash command.

For Node.js

/statusline Please display `npx ccusage@latest statusline`

For Bun

/statusline Please display `bun x ccusage@latest statusline`

Note: This method may generate settings that differ from the instructions. Starting Claude Code in the ~/.claude directory may help.

Troubleshooting

Custom status line not displaying

If you're using shell prompt tools like Starship, the custom status line may not display. To prioritize the custom status line, disable the shell prompt tool.
