Problem Statement
Status line does not show the usage %
Proposed Solution
You can submit this as a feature request on the Claude Code GitHub issues page:
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues
Click "New Issue" and suggest something like:
---
Title: Expose account usage limits in status line JSON data
Body:
The status line script receives session-level data (model, context %, cost, duration) via JSON on stdin, but there's no way to display account-level
usage information:
- Current session usage % (and reset countdown)
- Weekly usage % (and reset time)
- Per-model usage % (e.g., Sonnet-only allocation)
This data is visible on the claude.ai web dashboard but isn't exposed to the CLI or the status line JSON payload.
Request: Include account usage metrics in the status line JSON, e.g.:
{
"account_usage": {
"session": { "used_percentage": 69, "resets_in_seconds": 8700 },
"weekly": { "used_percentage": 37, "resets_at": "2026-02-20T10:00:00Z" },
"sonnet_only": { "used_percentage": 3, "resets_at": "2026-02-20T14:00:00Z" }
}
}
This would let users build custom status lines showing their remaining budget at a glance, without switching to the web dashboard.
