Q: Why did one Line CLI request count more than usual?

SuperCosmos bills long-context input at 1.5× : when one request's prompt is over 262K tokens , its whole input counts at 1.5× the effort's rate. In long sessions with many large files, requests can cross that line. Auto-compact starts at about 80% of the 1M window, which is well above 262K, so compact earlier yourself ( /compact ) or start fresh ( /new ) when a session grows very large and you want to keep usage down.
