Descripción
## 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.

Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
No se nombra ningún archivo fuente, prueba ni punto de entrada. Empieza revisando el issue 4308 enlazado y la documentación sobre los límites de sesión; después, reproduce una sesión interactiva inactiva en Copilot CLI 1.0.75 mientras haces un seguimiento del uso de créditos; el trabajo estará completo cuando se determine si el uso avanza sin entrada y si la CLI identifica algún trabajo en curso.
