[Enhancement]: Cost Estimation & API Usage Telemetry

[0xbitches]

Version

VisualStudio Code extension

Suggestion

Hello, thanks for building the extension. Since it uses GPT-4 and could be potentially expensive, would it be possible to implement some form of usage statistics to help us better understand where the majority of the costs lies?

Yes & no. Yes: gpt-pilot could be changed to track how many tokens are sent & received & provide these stats to users. No: The openai api doesn't currently support billing tracking, you need to use the openai dashboard to see recent cost estimates.
