S = session utilization (5 h window)
W = weekly utilization (7 d window)

Color-coded: green (< 80 %), yellow (≥ 80 %), red (≥ 100 %)
Tooltip shows time remaining until reset

Technical notes
The anthropic-ratelimit-unified-* headers are unofficial — discovered through reverse engineering of Claude Code's OAuth protocol. They may change or disappear without notice. Reference: claude-rate-monitor
Your OAuth token never leaves your machine and is never exposed to the extension UI
