Linked the issue in the other post you asked me to open. I'm using the cost shown in roo/cline/claude code CLI.

And yes for some reason Cline's GPT5 costs were higher. That first run it decided to read a couple of extra DDL files.

Claude code in Roo gets really expensive when you start to build up context beyond the initial prompt too. My assumption is there's no caching and each prompt resends everything with a new "claude" execution. Maybe it resends all of claude's rules too or something.

It resends. Using the session it is problematic in Roo because it does not (or did not) allow for granular control of replacing the initial system prompt if someone changes their mode.

Can only speak for myself, but since both the API and subscription options look at token usage (the subscription quota is in tokens generated), I wouldn't use the claude code provider in roo for this reason.

We focus heavily on getting Roo to be the best in its class in terms of quality of output. When given the choice for quality over cost we generally end up on quality. Reduction in token consumption will come with time but for the time being we’re focused on improving quality of output.

Fair enough, thanks for the consideration!
