Status line usage % doesn't match website session usage

Problem

The Claude Code CLI status line shows a significantly lower usage percentage than the Claude website (claude.ai) for the same time period, giving users a false sense of remaining headroom.

Example:

• CLI status line: 5h 17%
• Claude website "Current session": 33% used (resets in ~3h)
• Weekly numbers match closely: 7d 36% (CLI) vs 37% (website)

The short-term usage shown in the CLI is roughly half of what the website reports, even when the user is NOT using claude.ai web — all usage is coming from Claude Code.

Expected behavior

The CLI status line should show the same (or equivalent) usage percentage as the website's "current session" meter, since that reflects the actual rate limit the user will hit.

Why this matters

Users rely on the CLI status line to gauge how much capacity they have left. Showing 17% when the real limit is 33% means users can unexpectedly hit rate limits with what they thought was plenty of headroom.

Suggestion

Either:

1. Align the CLI short-term percentage with the website's session meter
2. Show the website-equivalent session percentage as an additional metric
3. Allow users to configure which usage bucket the status line displays
