VSCode z.ai Usage

Status bar example

Latest Release Last Commit License

Display your GLM Coding Plan usage percentage directly in the VS Code status bar

Features

  • Shows token quota usage (e.g. 45% (2h30m)) or remaining tokens (e.g. 55% (2h30m)) in the status bar
  • Displays time remaining until quota resets when available
  • Automatically refreshes at a configurable interval
  • Secure API key storage via VS Code Secret Storage

Status bar examples:

Situation Display
Authenticated, usage available ⬡ 45% (2h30m)
Authenticated, no reset time ⬡ 45%
Authenticated, remaining mode ⬡ 55% (2h30m)
API key not set ⬡ Set API Key
Error / fetch failed ⬡ -

The ⬡ icon is the z.ai icon. Set zaiUsage.useIcon: false to display z.ai: as a text prefix instead. Set zaiUsage.displayMode: "remaining" to show remaining tokens instead of usage.

Setup

  1. Get your API token from the z.ai API Key page
  2. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P)
  3. Run z.ai Usage: Set API Key and paste your token
  4. The status bar will update immediately
