## Summary

## Summary

GitHub Copilot CLI session appeared to continue consuming AI credits after all visible tasks were completed.

## Environment

- GitHub Copilot CLI version: 1.0.75
- Mode: Interactive CLI session
- Session limit enabled: No
- Observed behavior: Session showed approximately 97.8% AI credit usage after the visible tasks completed. No further user prompts or interactions were made. Later, the session reached 100%.

## Expected behavior

After all visible tasks are complete and no user interaction occurs, AI credit usage should either remain stable or the CLI should clearly indicate that background work is still running and consuming credits.

## Actual behavior

The session moved from approximately 97.8% to 100% without additional user interaction.

## Question

Is this expected due to final response accounting, subagent completion, or background compaction? If so, can the CLI expose clearer status so users can distinguish between:
1. truly idle waiting-for-input state, and
2. background/session-finalization work that may still consume AI credits?

## Supporting context

GitHub documentation says session limits include model calls, subagents, and background work like compaction, and that session limits are soft caps because usage is only known after a response returns.

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the linked issue 4308 and the documentation on session limits, then reproduce an idle interactive session on Copilot CLI 1.0.75 while tracking credit usage; done means determining whether usage advances without input and whether the CLI identifies any ongoing work.
