Description

Problem to solve

Following up from https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/pull/11777, in parallel with the improvements needed for the usage attribution interaction in user settings (https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/11498), improvements are also needed during workspace start. Cc @jankeromnes @geropl

Possibly the same elements can be reused in both places and can be tackled at one step, but breaking this down into a separate MVC issue for better planning.

Proposal

TBD (To be discussed)

Research direction

Start by reading PR #11777 and issue #11498, then trace the workspace-start flow to understand how usage attribution currently works. The proposal is still TBD, so work is not ready until the desired interaction and reuse between workspace start and user settings are agreed and documented.
