# See each DinoAI chat's cost, and compact it when it's long

> The Code IDE copilot shows each chat's credits and context use, compacts long chats on demand, and sorts your chat history by credits spent.

The DinoAI copilot in the Code IDE now shows what a chat costs and how full its context is, right in the prompt input.

* **Credits and context.** A ring next to the approval mode picker fills as the chat's context grows, and turns red from 80%. Click it for the chat's credits, your credits this month, and the context it uses, in tokens.
* **Compact this chat.** DinoAI already compacts a long chat when its context fills up. Now you can do it sooner: the older messages fold into a recap, and DinoAI keeps the context. Sending pauses until it's done, and the recap uses credits.
* **Credits in chat history.** Each past chat shows the credits it used, and **Top spend** ranks your chats by cost.

On a narrow panel, the toolbar folds its labels and merges the mode and approval pickers into one, instead of wrapping.
