Summary

Improves the display of token counts in the Sessions Insights view by formatting values with appropriate units (B, M, K) for better readability.

Problem

image

When token counts exceed 1 billion, displaying them in millions becomes less readable. For example, 1234M is harder to quickly parse than 1.23B.

Solution

Added a formatTokens helper function that formats token counts with human-readable units:

  • >= 1B: 1.23B
  • >= 1M: 1.23M
  • >= 1K: 1.5K
  • < 1K: raw number

Testing

Manual testing in the Sessions Insights view.

Pull request overview

This PR improves token count readability in the Sessions Insights view by introducing a formatting helper that displays values >= 1 billion as billions (B) instead of millions (M).

Changes:

  • Added formatTokens helper function to handle billion/million formatting with appropriate unit suffixes
  • Replaced inline token formatting with the new helper function for cleaner, more maintainable code

feat(ui): format token counts with appropriate units for readability
1dbc7c2 
Display token counts with human-readable units:
- >= 1B: '1.23B'
- >= 1M: '1.23M'
- >= 1K: '1.5K'
- < 1K: raw number

This improves clarity, e.g., '1234M' now displays as '1.23B'.

you can just use:

Intl.NumberFormat('en', { notation: 'compact', maximumFractionDigits: 2 }).format(insights?.totalTokens)

(possibly with || 0)
