Feature Request: Show remaining plan tokens instead of session context usage

Feature Request
Current behavior:
The token counter in Claude Code shows context window usage for the current session (counting up from 0).
Requested behavior:
Show remaining tokens from the user's plan/subscription (counting down), so users can see how much of their quota remains.
Why this would help
- Users on Claude Max or API plans want to know how much of their allocation they have left
- Counting down (remaining) is more intuitive for budget/quota tracking than counting up (used this session)
- Currently there's no way to see plan token balance without leaving the CLI to check the web console
Suggested implementation
Either:
- Replace the current counter with remaining plan tokens
- Add an option to toggle between "session context" and "plan remaining" views
- Show both values
This would require exposing billing/quota information through the API.
