Expose /usage data to statusLine for Claude Max users

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Jan 23, 2026 by SynBioExplorer Closed Jan 23, 2026

As a Claude Max subscriber, I'd like to see my usage limits and remaining quota in the status line.

Current behavior

  • The /usage command shows plan usage limits and rate limit status
  • The statusLine feature only has access to: context_window, model, cost, workspace, version, output_style
  • cost data is not relevant for Max subscribers (no per-token billing)
  • Max users have no way to see their usage limits in the status line

Requested behavior

Add a usage or plan_usage field to the statusLine JSON input that includes:

  • Current usage (requests/tokens used in current period)
  • Usage limits (daily/monthly caps)
  • Rate limit status
  • Reset time

Example JSON structure

{
  "plan_usage": {
    "used": 150,
    "limit": 500,
    "percentage": 30,
    "resets_at": "2024-01-24T00:00:00Z",
    "rate_limited": false
  }
}

Use case

This would allow Max users to monitor their usage at a glance without running /usage repeatedly, helping them pace their usage throughout the day.
