Features
Status bar (bottom-right): live 5-hour and weekly used %, color-coded (green / yellow / red), with reset countdowns on hover. The $(clock) 2h 14m countdown is opt-in — toggle it on once and it stays on across restarts.
Detail dashboard: big usage bars per model, reset countdowns, interactive history chart of usage over time. Hover for a crosshair + tooltip showing per-model used % at that timestamp.
Interactive charts:
Time-range chips:1h / 6h / 24h / 3d / 7d / All. Chips with no data are auto-disabled; picking an empty range shows a "Show <suggested range>" shortcut.
Hover tooltip: crosshair line + floating panel with timestamp + per-model percentage.
Persistent history: chart samples survive VS Code restarts (mirrored to globalState, debounced 5 s, flushed on shutdown). At the default 100-sample limit, worst-case on-disk size is ~5 KB. Safe to run with multiple VS Code windows against the same workspace.

No telemetry, no analytics, no error reporting service.
Zero runtime npm dependencies (CVE surface = 0).
