@@ -35,6 +35,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
   to the state-managed `plugins/installs.json` ledger, with legacy config reads
   kept as a deprecated compatibility fallback. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Diagnostics/OTEL: add the GenAI `gen_ai.client.operation.duration` histogram for model-call latency in seconds with bounded provider/model/API and error attributes. Thanks @vincentkoc.
+- Diagnostics/OTEL: add GenAI usage token attributes to model-usage spans, including cache read/write input token counts without session identifiers or prompt/response content. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Diagnostics/OTEL: add bounded outbound message delivery lifecycle diagnostics and export them as low-cardinality delivery spans/metrics without message body, recipient, room, or media-path data. (#71471) Thanks @vincentkoc and @jlapenna.
 - Diagnostics/OTEL: emit bounded exec-process diagnostics and export them as `openclaw.exec` spans without exposing command text, working directories, or container identifiers. (#71451) Thanks @vincentkoc and @jlapenna.
 - Diagnostics/OTEL: support `OPENCLAW_OTEL_PRELOADED=1` so the plugin can reuse an already-registered OpenTelemetry SDK while keeping OpenClaw diagnostic listeners wired. (#71450) Thanks @vincentkoc and @jlapenna.
