You're telling us there are frequent scheduled summary calls to agents that burns tokens like this is common knowledge. Is it? And is this documented somewhere?

Perhaps this is terminology confusion, but the official docs explicitly state that status lines "[Run] locally and [do] not consume API tokens." [0] _If_ that documentation is talking about the same thing that TFA is talking about, then I'd say that this is very much not common knowledge.

I also wonder if the fix that they "just rolled out" is actually activating the 'short' mode that TFA mentions...
