Burn rate explained
How fast you're spending tokens or dollars over a window.
Why it matters for cost
Projected onto the 5-hour window, burn rate predicts whether you'll hit the cap before it resets.
How JP the Cat surfaces it
JP the Cat reads the real token counts behind this from the local logs on your Mac and prices them at the shipped rates — so it shows up in your actual cost, not an estimate.
