Watch Claude Code's 5-hour and 7-day limits
A one-line band above the prompt with your 5-hour and 7-day limit use and reset times, the context window's tokens, and the last turn's prompt-cache hit rate.

A band above the prompt showing your 5-hour and 7-day limits, context window and prompt-cache hit rate, styled for the terminal and the desktop app
Usage Band puts them in a band above the prompt, as a bar per window with the percent used and the time until it resets. The figures come from your subscription's rate-limit headers, so they appear after the session's first response and only on a subscription.
It's the last turn's cache reads over all of its input (uncached tokens, cache reads and cache writes), summed over the turn's requests. Usage Band turns it red when it falls under 50%.
Set USAGE_BAND_ICONS in your shell profile to auto, nerd, unicode or ascii, for example export USAGE_BAND_ICONS=unicode. Run /usage-band-preview to see every terminal style side by side.
No. Its README says it reads the session's usage figures and the TERM_PROGRAM and USAGE_BAND_ICONS environment variables, adds /usage-band-preview, and draws the band. statuslin.es's checks found no file writes, programs or internet access.
One line above the prompt: context tokens with their weather, a bar per recent prompt, your 5-hour and 7-day limits against the time elapsed, the prompt cache with its time left, the session cost with the last prompt's share in dollars and in points of the 5-hour limit, and the subagents running. Labels in English, French or Russian. After Token Weather (Anthropic, Apache-2.0) and the ideas of usage-meter (HolyGrail) and prompt-cache-control (Daniel San).
A cockpit for Claude Code: plan bars and subagent strips, context, usage limits with reset countdowns and burn rates, spend, the model route and a pet. Six bar styles, three collapsed looks. CLI and Desktop.
