Problem Statement
The current worklfow requires me to manually track session times and token limits.
The current widget in VSCode/VSCodium which appears when tokens are nearing limits is VERY useful.

Proposed Solution
Giving an option to make this widget persistent would be nice.
Alternative Solutions
