Description
**What happened**
The total_tokens indicator shown to the model read 14,601,730 before the user interrupted and 15,000,000 on the next turn. The running spend the model sees, and quoted to the user, is not reliable across an interrupt.
**What the user said**
"even if I need to burn my weekly allowance to get there"
**Repro**
Observe the counter across a user interrupt.
**Environment:** Claude Code CLI 2.1.270 (Claude Code), macOS, auto mode, model claude-fable-5-1, session of 2026-09-14.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Claude Code CLI by observing total_tokens before and after a user interrupt. Trace the token accounting around interrupt handling and verify that the next turn preserves the cumulative total rather than resetting or jumping to 15,000,000.
