Problem Description
I've found that my chat has really ballooned in size over time, making it increasingly expensive to continue a chat. What exacerbates this issue is I have no idea how large my current chat length is, meaning I don't know how much each subsequent message costs.
Desired Solution you'd like
One thing I'd really appreciate is to be able to tell roughly how much each subsequent message would cost, using the token count as an estimate.
Besides this, having a token display also would help to intuit the approximate token count that a model starts getting stupid.
I've seen issue #573 but it seems to be handling a different issue of the model's context limit. What I'm looking for is a display for how many tokens the current chat uses.
