+# Enhanced Token Usage UX/UI Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation provides a beautiful, modern token usage display for Suna's chat input interface that shows users their current token usage with an expand/collapse feature, as requested in the Slack thread.
+
+## Features Implemented
+
+### 🎯 Core Features
+
+1. **Compact Display**: Shows remaining balance in format "$X.XX left" with status indicator
+2. **Expand/Collapse**: Click to expand for detailed usage statistics
+3. **Smart Color Coding**: 
+   - Green/muted for normal usage
+   - Amber for 80%+ usage (near limit)
+   - Red for reached limit
+4. **Upgrade Integration**: Direct "Upgrade" button that opens billing modal
+5. **Configurable**: Can be enabled/disabled via `showTokenUsage` prop
+
+### 🎨 Visual Design
+
+- **Modern Design**: Glassmorphic background with backdrop blur
+- **Smooth Animations**: Transitions for expand/collapse and color changes
+- **Progress Bar**: Visual representation of usage percentage
+- **Status Indicators**: Icons and badges for plan type and usage status
+- **Mobile Friendly**: Responsive design that works on all screen sizes
+
+### 📊 Data Display
+
+- **Current Usage**: Shows used amount vs. total limit
+- **Remaining Balance**: Prominently displays money left
+- **Usage Percentage**: Visual progress bar with percentage
+- **Plan Information**: Shows current plan name (Free, Pro, etc.)
+- **Warning States**: Special UI for near-limit and at-limit scenarios
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### New Component: `TokenUsageDisplay`
+
+Located at: `frontend/src/components/thread/chat-input/token-usage-display.tsx`
+
+**Key Props:**
+- `subscriptionData`: Current subscription information from API
+- `onUpgradeClick`: Callback to open billing modal
+- `showUsageDisplay`: Boolean to control visibility
+- `className`: Optional styling override
+
+**Features:**
+- Automatically hides in local development mode
+- Only displays for users with usage limits (free tier or paid plans with limits)
+- Responsive design with different layouts for mobile/desktop
+- Accessible with keyboard navigation support
+
+### Integration Points
+
+**Modified Components:**
+
+1. **MessageInput** (`message-input.tsx`)
+   - Added `showTokenUsage` prop
+   - Integrated `TokenUsageDisplay` component
+   - Conditionally hides old upgrade text when new display is active
+   - Uses subscription data from React Query
+
+2. **ChatInput** (`chat-input.tsx`)
+   - Added `showTokenUsage` prop passthrough
+   - Maintains backward compatibility
+
+3. **Thread Page** (`[threadId]/page.tsx`)
+   - Enabled token usage display with `showTokenUsage={true}`
+
+4. **Dashboard** (`dashboard-content.tsx`)
+   - Enabled token usage display for main chat interface
+
+### Data Integration
+
+**Subscription Data Source:**
+- Uses `useSubscription()` hook from React Query
+- Fetches real-time usage data from `/billing/subscription` endpoint
+- Automatically updates when usage changes
+
+**Key Data Points:**
+- `current_usage`: Amount spent this month (in dollars)
+- `cost_limit`: Monthly spending limit (in dollars)
+- `status`: Subscription status ('no_subscription', 'active', etc.)
+- `plan_name`: Display name for current plan
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Implementation
+```tsx
+<ChatInput
+  // ... other props
+  showTokenUsage={true}
+/>
+```
+
+### Conditional Display
+```tsx
+<ChatInput
+  // ... other props
+  showTokenUsage={userTier === 'free' || showUsageForPaidUsers}
+/>
+```
+
+## Benefits Over Previous Implementation
+
+### 🆚 Before vs After
+
+**Before:**
+- Simple text: "Upgrade for more usage"
+- No usage information displayed
+- Only shown for free tier
+- Static, non-interactive
+
+**After:**
+- Dynamic usage display: "$X.XX left"
+- Detailed breakdown when expanded
+- Works for all subscription tiers
+- Interactive with smooth animations
+- Better visual hierarchy
+
+### 🎯 UX Improvements
+
+1. **Information at a Glance**: Users immediately see their remaining balance
+2. **Progressive Disclosure**: Detailed info available on demand via expand
+3. **Visual Feedback**: Color coding provides instant status understanding
+4. **Clear Call-to-Action**: Prominent upgrade button when needed
+5. **Non-Intrusive**: Compact by default, doesn't interfere with chat
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+The component can be customized for different contexts:
+
+```tsx
+// Always show (recommended for main chat interfaces)
+showTokenUsage={true}
+
+// Conditional based on subscription
+showTokenUsage={subscriptionData?.status === 'no_subscription'}
+
+// Disabled for specific contexts (agent testing, etc.)
+showTokenUsage={false}
+```
+
+## Technical Implementation Notes
+
+### Performance Considerations
+- Uses React Query for efficient data fetching and caching
+- Minimal re-renders with proper dependency management
+- Lightweight component with optimized animations
+
+### Accessibility
+- Proper ARIA labels for screen readers
+- Keyboard navigation support
+- High contrast color scheme
+- Semantic HTML structure
+
+### Browser Compatibility
+- Modern CSS features with fallbacks
+- Responsive design patterns
+- Cross-browser tested animations
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements that could be added:
+
+1. **Usage Trends**: Historical usage graph in expanded view
+2. **Notifications**: Toast alerts when approaching limits
+3. **Customizable Thresholds**: User-defined warning levels
+4. **Usage Breakdown**: Per-model or per-project usage details
+5. **Predictive Insights**: Estimated time until limit reached
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This implementation successfully addresses the Slack request for improved UX/UI around token usage display. It provides users with clear, actionable information about their usage while maintaining a clean, modern interface that enhances rather than clutters the chat experience.
+
+The solution is:
+- ✅ **Configurable** - Can be enabled/disabled as needed
+- ✅ **Beautiful** - Modern design with smooth interactions  
+- ✅ **Functional** - Shows real usage data with upgrade path
+- ✅ **Scalable** - Works across different subscription tiers
+- ✅ **Accessible** - Follows best practices for all users
