I was excited until I saw cost was only provided as the median. Your provider will bill you for all your tasks and one can get back to that total from the mean by multiplying by the number of tasks. This isn't possible with the median and I suspect the median is likely below the mean so this understates the actual costs.

We initially tried using the mean (average), but a few extreme outliers caused Claude Code's cost to look far higher than it typically is.
