Problem Statement
Problem
There's no way to monitor Claude Code usage limits (the 3 progress bars shown on claude.ai/settings/usage) without leaving the IDE. This breaks flow when you want a quick check on remaining quota.
Proposed Solution
Proposed solution
Add a usage indicator to the VSCode extension, ideally in one of these forms:
- Status bar item showing current session usage % (e.g. Claude: 42%)
- Sidebar panel with the same 3 progress bars as claude.ai/settings/usage
- Hover tooltip on the status bar item with breakdown

Use Case Example
Why it matters
Developers using Claude Code heavily want to stay in the IDE. Switching to a browser tab just to check quota is friction that adds up. A lightweight status bar indicator would significantly improve the workflow.
