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.
