Switching accounts no longer makes the previous usage view disappear. Cockpit remembers the Claude and Codex accounts observed on this computer and keeps their last-known 5h/7d usage together in one panel.

### Current and previously seen accounts share one usage panel

Open the `Usage` chip to see the `current + last observed` list. `CURRENT ACCOUNT` distinguishes the active account; accounts previously used on this Mac remain listed with their last observation time and available `5h` / `7d` usage.

An account only needs to have been signed in once on this Mac to appear here.

*Last-known usage for active and previously observed accounts remains together in the same Usage panel.*
1. Active Claude account
2. Active Codex account
3. Previously observed Claude account with its retained last-known usage
