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
/usagecommand shows plan usage limits and rate limit status - The
statusLinefeature only has access to:context_window,model,cost,workspace,version,output_style costdata 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.
