feat(dashboard): hide token/cost analytics behind config flag (default off)#25438
Merged
Conversation
…t off) The Analytics page and the token/cost surfaces on the Models page show local debug estimates only. They count input+output (and a bar viz adds cache_read+reasoning, missing cache_write entirely) from successful main-agent responses that returned a usable usage block. Excluded silently: - All auxiliary calls — context compression, title generation, vision, session search, web extract, smart approvals, MCP routing, plugin LLM access (13 production call sites bypass update_token_counts) - Provider-side retries, fallback attempts - Any call whose usage block didn't come back - cache_write_tokens (column exists in sessions table but not returned by /api/analytics/models) Real-world impact: a user on Kimi K2.6 saw 150K local vs 27M on the OpenRouter side over the same window. Precise-looking numbers next to provider billing create false confidence and support load. This change adds dashboard.show_token_analytics (default False) to gate: - The Analytics nav item (hidden from sidebar when off) - The Analytics page (renders an explanation card instead of charts) - Token bars, totals, cost figures, avg/api_calls on the Models page The Models page keeps capability metadata (context window, vision, tools, reasoning), the use-as-main/aux menu, sessions count, and last-used timestamps when the flag is off. Set dashboard.show_token_analytics: true in config.yaml to opt back in to the local debug estimate. Fixing the underlying accounting (issue #23270) is a separate, larger workstream.

Summary
Hide the misleading token/cost analytics surfaces by default. The Analytics page and Models page token totals are a local debug estimate that excludes auxiliary calls (compression, vision, web extract, session search, smart approvals, MCP routing, plugin LLM access — 13 production call sites bypass
update_token_counts), provider retries, fallback attempts, andcache_write_tokens. Real users see 150K local vs 27M on OpenRouter for the same window; the numbers look precise enough to be confused with billing.Adds
dashboard.show_token_analytics(defaultfalse) to gate three surfaces. The Models page keeps capability metadata, the use-as menu, sessions count, and last-used timestamps when off.Changes

That's the right long-term fix (see #23270) — wire auxiliary calls through
update_token_countswith session_id propagation, persist on every HTTP attempt with an attempt_status column, addcache_write_tokensto the API and UI, normalize provider-specific usage shapes. It's a much larger workstream. Hiding misleading numbers is the right thing to do in the meantime.Refs: #23270, #21705
