Show LLM cost directly next to answer

A feature request proposes displaying the cost of each query directly next to the finished answer in an AI Assistant, noting that the "AI usage" number is already updated immediately in the billing page after each query. The request argues the change would have minimal workflow or user-experience impact and would let users better budget their query costs, while acknowledging uncertainty about whether other systems already do this.

This enhancement might not be overly complex, since the "AI usage" number is updated immediately in the billing page after each query:

Next to the finished answer in the Assistant, inobtrusively also show the information regarding how much it cost / how much credit was subtracted.

Workflow/ user experience impact should be minimal.

It would enable users to better budget their query costs. That's it.

I don't know if other systems have this.
