Clawbay Quota

See your Clawbay API quota usage directly in the VS Code status bar.

Features

• Live 5-hour and weekly usage percentages in the status bar
• Hover tooltip with cost spent, limit, and time until reset
• Instant refresh via the status bar or command palette

Setup

1. Install the extension
2. Click the Clawbay item in the status bar (or run Clawbay Quota: Login from the command palette)
3. Paste your Clawbay API key (Clawbay format, typically starts with ca_) — it's stored in global VS Code user settings and never logged

If no token is set, the status bar will show an auth-required state; clicking it prompts for a token.

ca_* keys are accepted.

Configuration

The extension supports configurable API endpoints, refresh cadence, and status bar alignment.

Settings

• clawbayQuota.apiBaseUrl: Base URL for the quota API (defaults to https://theclawbay.com/api/codex-auth/v1). The extension appends /quota if needed.
• clawbayQuota.apiToken: API token persisted globally (user settings scope) so authentication survives session and repository changes.
• clawbayQuota.refreshIntervalMinutes: How often to auto-refresh quota data (minutes). Set to 0 to disable.
• clawbayQuota.statusBarAlignment: Status bar placement (left or right).

For the legacy codex-auth route (/api/codex-auth/v1/quota), the extension automatically requests format=legacy_codex for schema compatibility.

On upgrade from older builds, any existing token in legacy SecretStorage is migrated once to clawbayQuota.apiToken at activation.

Environment Variables

• CLAWBAY_API_BASE_URL: Override the API base URL for local/dev (example: https://api.example.com/codex-auth/v1).

Example (redacted):

export CLAWBAY_API_BASE_URL="https://api.example.com/codex-auth/v1"
