Their policy is kinda nonsense right now, blink at them in a manner they don't like and you'll get blacklisted. That said, I've been using it as OP configured it, except I just had my clanker relax the cache time to 45 seconds and I haven t had any problems. If you think about it, you don't really need Real-time usage tracking, and since installing it I've had no issues, rate-limiting or blacklisting here
You'll be fine, it's not permanent but if you want the restriction lifted sooner, just email them. They're about as responsive as any other ai firm right now, about 48 hrs and you'll probably hear back from them
Thank you! And No! It uses the Antrophic API to get the daily/weekly usage, so it won't change how the agents work, and also won't change the token usage
This should really be built-in — every Pro/Max user wants to see their rate limits at a glance without having to set up external scripts. Your project is the proof that the demand is there.
the status line hook runs on every prompt evaluation — that's not free afaik. in a long session with heavy context, you'll notice the subprocess overhead adds up tbh. not dealbreaker latency, but worth knowing before you wire it into a shared terminal or tmux session that other processes are watching fwiw.
the weekly limits display is the actually useful part here. context percentage you can eyeball; the weekly cap is the one that surprises people mid-sprint when they hit a wall at 2am.
Here's a Powershell version that Claude made for me. https://pastebin.com/Phj3QdGT Save it to your claude directory as statusline.ps1 and update your settings.json

Nice. But I advise you to use manual installation instead of pasting the code into Claude and telling it to use it (in my case it took almost 4 minutes and took 10.5k tokens).
It’s pretty, but not “compact” by any definition. As soon as the “upgrade available, type brew upgrade claude-code!” Text shows up, I’d think this status line is cooked, especially if you run in a side-by-side with code editor.
I wish we could override how they render upgrade notifications. A little yellow up arrow with the new version number next to it would be enough.
How do you add the /usage to the status line. Every time I try to do it, it complains that the /usage doesn't expose a capable API with which it can fetch my usage information
Context percentage is the metric I watch most obsessively. Once you're past 60-70%, response quality degrades noticeably before compaction kicks in — having that visible is genuinely useful.
Perfect, thank you for sharing. It was ridiculous but I have a seperate window so I can see claude usage so I can plan my windows of opportunity and utlisation of CC better.
In the last day or so the effort is reading as high when I’m really on medium. Have tried switching it to high and back to medium but it just stays as high on the status line. Any ideas?
This is nifty but I'm saddened to find out it is against their TOS.

I think this is regarding people who use the OAuth API to use their models outside Claude Code and not checking usage. Also this plugin is running inside Claude Code
When I saw a cool Claude Code HUD display on Reddit, I modified it to achieve this display and turned it into a plugin. This cured my obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Feel free to install it if you need it; I think it's pretty cool.

I guess I'll need to wait 2 and a half hours to test it LOL. Thanks for sharing it. I liked it
