README

claude-statusline-mod

A Claude Code mod (plugin) that shows your usage limits and context window in the status line at the bottom of the window:

5h 🟢 17% 3h 12m | 7d 🟠 82% 3d 22h | CTX 🟢 70k/200k
PartMeaning
5h 🟢 17% 3h 12m5-hour limit usage and time until it resets
7d 🟠 82% 3d 22hweekly limit usage and time until it resets
CTX 🟢 70k/200ktokens used in the context window / window size

The dot shows how close you are to the limit:

DotUsage
🟢below 50%
🟡50% and up
🟠75% and up
🔴90% and up
⚪no data yet (e.g. before the first reply, or no subscription)

The line refreshes after every Claude reply. It works in the terminal and in the Code tab of the Claude desktop app.

Install

In a Claude Code terminal session:

/plugin install 5h --marketplace emilmaju/claude-statusline-mod

Confirm adding the marketplace (y) and pick the user scope so the mod runs in every project.

Or from the command line:

claude plugin marketplace add emilmaju/claude-statusline-mod
claude plugin install 5h@emilmaju --scope user

The status line appears on its own from the next session, in the desktop app too.

Update and uninstall

claude plugin marketplace update emilmaju
claude plugin uninstall 5h

Why is the plugin called "5h"?

Claude Code puts the name of the plugin in front of its status line entry, and that can't be turned off. So the plugin is named 5h: the name doubles as the label of the first limit, and the mod's own text starts right at the dot.

How it works

The whole mod is one file, hooks/register.ts. It uses two events from the Claude Code mod API:

  • session.start: the first reading from $.session.usage() when a session starts,
  • session.measure: later readings, whenever the context or a limit changes,

and sets the text with $.ui.status(...). It doesn't read files, touch the network or run processes.

Development

claude plugin validate .
claude plugin test .

To run the mod from a local folder without installing it:

claude --plugin-dir .
