Description:
Need a way to monitor Claude Code usage limits (tokens, cost, messages) directly from the CLI.
Problem:
No official way to check remaining usage
Users rely on third-party tools
Can't predict when hitting limits across devices
Request:
Add a command like claude usage or claude limits that displays:
Current usage vs limits
Time to reset
Burn rate

Absolutely! It’s the same issue. However, I’m curious to know about the plan for implementing this feature. Also, how long should we continue to address this issue? It's kind of a blocker
Have you tried CCusage?
https://github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage
They support statusline integration.
Thanks for your response! I tried ccusage, but couldn't find the statusline integration working. Also, it doesn't show how close I am to hitting Claude Code's 5-hour usage limits - just projections based on burn rate. I guess Claude Code Monitor is a little better for actual limit tracking, though neither tool seems perfect for this use case. My goal is to monitor my usage across multiple devices to control it (but the current device is also fine) and avoid hitting the usage cap
Right. We really need this feature. There is an indication only when we are about to hit the rate limit. After the rate limit we cannot do anything also. We should be able to optimize our prompts as a user depending upon when we are going to hit the rate limit. I ended up switching to other coding agents. Atlest in Github copilot you can allocate extra budget. They will give you a realtime indication of how much we are consuming. This gives us an idea when to slow down or when to tackle the big task or small tasks.
It seems like the company’s policy is to restrict users from tracking or monitoring their usage. Consequently, they indirectly compel individuals to subscribe to the Max plan. Despite numerous requests from various users, the company has yet to provide transparency regarding this matter
Codex has it 👀
This is now available as
/usage!Thanks! This is very helpful. I assume this applies to multiple-device usage?
In other words, if I use the same Claude Pro account on multiple devices (all of which are my own), the usage will be measured across all device usages, rather than just the current machine?
Yes, the usage is measured at the claude.ai account level, rather than per device (or
claudeinvocation).This issue has been automatically locked since it was closed and has not had any activity for 7 days. If you're experiencing a similar issue, please file a new issue and reference this one if it's relevant.
