What it does

Sits in your status bar showing real-time utilization across your 5-hour session, 7-day, Opus, and Apps windows. Click it for the full breakdown: progress bars, reset countdowns, account info, the whole thing.

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
Update Interval	`300`	How often to poll for usage, in seconds
Status Bar Display	`Both`	Which usage stat to display: `Session`, `Weekly` or `Both`
Show Notifications	`False`	Get pinged when any window hits 90%

Authentication

The extension reads your existing Claude Code credentials, no separate login needed.

macOS: reads the OAuth token directly from your system Keychain (added by Claude Code on login).

Linux: reads from ~/.claude/.credentials.json.

User info (name, email, subscription type) is pulled from ~/.claude.json.

If the status bar shows an auth error, re-run claude in your terminal to refresh your credentials, then reload the VS Code window.

Requirements

VS Code 1.74.0+, active Claude Code subscription.
