These members all concern auxiliary usage tracking, specifically that record_auxiliary_usage does not carry cost_status or cost provenance. As described, auxiliary spend gets re-estimated downstream and subscription auxiliary routes may appear as unknown cost; the items propose persisting or preserving the cost classification.
