Responses-API usage parsing splits cached_tokens out of input so occupancy and faremeter sums count each prompt token once.

Summary
cached_tokensout ofinput_tokenssoTokenUsagefields stay non-overlapping and context occupancy sums equal real prompt tokensWhy: on the OpenAI/xAI Responses API,
input_tokens_details.cached_tokensis a subset ofinput_tokens. Summing the raw fields double-counts every cached token, so the meter reads 70-80% while real occupancy is ~40% — and compaction either fires in early bursts or appears stuck.Verification
