Bring back /cost command

What feature would you like to see?

With the switch to usage-based pricing for business plans and the release of 5.5, I find myself spending enough money that I have to start worrying a little bit about cost control. It is currently very hard to even know which threads I'm spending the most money on. Adding back the /cost command would be the easiest way to do so. Alternatively, the /status command could display credit usage of the current thread.

This is different from #19869 , I want to be able to audit incurred cost in existing threads. The thing I am specifically running into is that with GPT-5.5, there is basically no limit in sight on the amount of useful work I can get it to do. However, I still need to evaluate wether this work was worth doing at all and do a rough cost/benefit gut-check, especially with the ability to spend double-digit dollars of usage in a single thread or even in a single turn sometimes.
