[Feedback] Show remaining usage budget as absolute value, not just percentage
Problem
When using Claude Code on a Pro subscription, the /usage command only shows
remaining budget as a percentage (e.g. "32% used"). There is no way to know
the absolute remaining budget in tokens, active hours, or any other concrete unit.
Why this matters
- I can see how many tokens each prompt costs (shown per message), but cannot
compare that against my remaining budget
- Anthropic clearly has this number internally — the system can stop mid-task
when the limit is reached, so the calculation exists at runtime
- Without a concrete number, I cannot plan whether I have enough budget to
complete a task before starting it
- Worst case: a long agentic task is aborted mid-execution with no warning and
no way to verify whether the limit was actually reached or something else failed
Request
Please show the remaining budget as a concrete value alongside the percentage —
e.g. tokens, active hours, or prompts remaining. API users already see exact
token counts in /usage; subscription users deserve the same transparency.
A status-line indicator with the absolute remaining value would also be helpful
for continuous monitoring during long sessions.
