A Claude Code mod that shows your usage limits in a small docked pane: the 5-hour session window and the weekly limit, each as a coloured bar (green, yellow from 70%, red from 90%) with the time it resets.

Install

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

/plugin install usage-meter --marketplace rodrigocamargo/usage-meter

Answer y to add the marketplace, then press Enter to install for your user.

Use

  • The pane opens by itself when a session starts in a terminal at least 144 columns wide.
  • In a narrower window, type /usage-meter to open it.
  • The numbers appear after the first reply, on a Claude subscription plan (API-key sessions have no usage limits to show).

What it hooks

The mod only reads your usage and draws a pane. It sends nothing anywhere, blocks nothing and changes no tool call or prompt.

  • session.start: registers the /usage-meter command, reads your current usage limits and opens the pane.
  • command.run (only for /usage-meter): answers that command by opening the pane. It does not see or change any other command.
  • session.measure: when Claude Code reports new usage numbers, stores them so the pane redraws.
  • ui.render (only for its own pane): draws the bars.
