README

usage-meter

A Claude Code mod that shows your usage in a one-line band above the prompt:

📊 usage-meter  tokens 5.0k (in 3.0k / out 2.0k)  ·  ctx 2%  ·  5h 92%  ·  7d 30.5%  ·  $0.42
  • tokens: tokens used this session (input incl. cache / output)
  • ctx: how full the context window is
  • 5h / 7d: percentage of your plan's usage limits used (subscription only; appears after the first reply). yellow at 70%+, red and a pop-up at 90%+
  • $: estimated session cost

Labels and the in/out split are dimmed; values are bold.

Install

Type this at the prompt of a Claude Code terminal session:

/plugin install usage-meter --marketplace prakash-rai/usage-meter

Answer y to add the marketplace, then choose a scope (user scope loads it in every session).

Notes

  • Token totals count main-conversation replies only, not subagents.
