# Session depth by coding agent, October 2026

> 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.

*Topic: Agentic workloads. Period: Oct 2026. Last updated 2026-11-11.*

## Why it matters

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 this answers

- How many API calls does a typical coding agent session make?
- Which coding agent has the deepest sessions?
- How long are Claude Code sessions?

## Key findings

1. Roo Code: median 41, p95 169 calls.
2. Zoo Code: median 13, p95 179 calls.
3. OpenCode: median 12, p95 186 calls.
4. Claude Code: median 5, p95 43 calls.

## Data

| Agent | Median calls | P95 calls | Max calls |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Roo Code | 41 | 169 | 432 |
| Zoo Code | 13 | 179 | 807 |
| OpenCode | 12 | 186 | 14.9k |
| Claude Code | 5 | 43 | 45.2k |

## Caveats

- Only agents that send a trace_id are included.
- A trace is all calls sharing one trace_id in the month.
