Claude Spend Tracker

A VS Code extension that shows your Anthropic Claude spending in the status bar. Tracks both personal and workspace-level spend against limits, with auto-refresh.

Features

• Status bar — shows your personal spend (e.g. $201.14 / -) at a glance
• Tooltip — hover for workspace spend, limits, percentages, and reset date
• Detail panel — click for a full breakdown with progress bars, remaining budget, daily average, and reset countdown
• Color alerts — status bar turns yellow at 75% and red at 90% of the limit
• Auto-refresh — polls every 5 minutes (configurable)
• Auto-discovery — only needs a session key; org, user, and workspace are detected automatically

Setup

1. Get your session key

1. Go to platform.claude.com
2. Open DevTools (Cmd+Option+I / F12) → Network tab
3. Reload the page, filter by Fetch/XHR
4. Click any request and find the sessionKey cookie value (starts with sk-ant-sid...)

2. Configure

Either add to your VS Code settings:

{
  "claudeSpend.sessionKey": "sk-ant-sid..."
}

Or use the command palette: Claude Spend: Set Session Key to store it via VS Code's SecretStorage.

That's it — organization, user ID, and workspace are auto-detected. If you belong to multiple workspaces, you'll be prompted to pick one.

Notes

• The session key is a browser session cookie and will expire. When it does, the status bar shows a warning — grab a fresh one from DevTools.
• All personal data (session key) goes in VS Code settings, not in the codebase. The .vscode/settings.json file is gitignored.
