Keep your Claude Code rate-limit board in the VS Code status bar.
This is a companion extension for QuotaDeck, a Windows desktop app that tracks Claude Code 5-hour and weekly usage across every account you own.
Requires the QuotaDeck app. This extension reads the snapshot file that QuotaDeck writes (%APPDATA%\QuotaDeck\snapshots.json). On its own it has nothing to display. Install QuotaDeck first from GitHub Releases.
What it does
Status bar readout — current 5-hour and weekly utilization, always visible while you work
Recast board on demand — QuotaDeck: Recast Board shows a text gauge with reset countdowns, also available from the editor and explorer right-click menus
Launch the app — QuotaDeck: Open App starts QuotaDeck if it is not already running
Zero dependencies — plain JavaScript, no bundled runtime
English and Japanese — follows the QuotaDeck app's language setting, then your VS Code display language, defaulting to English
