  "abstract": "How many API calls does a coding session make? In October 2026 Roo Code had the deepest sessions at a median 41 calls per trace, with a p95 of 169. Claude Code sessions had a median of 5 calls.",
  "whyItMatters": "Session depth shows how much work an agent does per task. Deeper sessions mean more context resent per task and more value from caching.",
  "questions": [
    "How many API calls does a typical coding agent session make?",
    "Which coding agent has the deepest sessions?",
    "How long are Claude Code sessions?"
