Claude Usage Bar

Shows your Claude Code rate limit usage in the VS Code status bar — just like the terminal bar, but always visible while you code.

Features

Live usage bar — ████████░░ 82% · 1h 12m in the status bar
Session (5hr) and weekly (7d) limits tracked separately
Color alerts — yellow at 70%, red at 90%
Reset countdown — updates every 30 seconds
Zero token cost — reads directly from Anthropic's usage API, no messages sent
Auto token refresh — stays authenticated without any manual steps

Requirements

Claude Code VS Code extension installed and signed in
macOS (uses the macOS Keychain for auth — Windows/Linux support coming)

How it works

Claude Code stores your OAuth credentials in the macOS Keychain. This extension reads those credentials and calls Anthropic's /api/oauth/usage endpoint — the same endpoint the Claude Code extension uses internally to show usage in its sidebar. No tokens are consumed.

Status Bar

The status bar item shows the highest active limit:

Display	Meaning
`████████░░ 82% · 1h 12m`	82% used, resets in 1h 12m
`$(check) Usage OK`	Below all thresholds
Yellow background	70%+ used
Red background	90%+ used

Hover for a full breakdown of all limits (session, weekly, Sonnet, extra usage). Click to manually refresh.

Commands

Command	Description
`Claude Usage: Refresh Rate Limit`	Force refresh from API

Settings

No configuration needed — it works automatically once Claude Code is authenticated.
