Claude Managed Agents feature request

May 2, 2026

Any­body from Anthropic out there reading? Here is a tiny fea­ture request for the cool new Claude Man­aged Agents: cur­rently the usage field on a ses­sion seems only to get updated (with, e.g., cur­rent token counts) when the ses­sion goes idle. But, I also want to track usage during long, mul­ti­step executions … in fact, I might argue that’s MOSTLY when I want to track it, to pre­vent run­away work.

So, it would be nice if the usage stats updated live, or live-ish.
