Claude Credits Usage

Problem

I work with Claude every day. Limits are counted in 5-hour and weekly windows, and checking them meant remembering to type a command.

What I built

A program that runs in the background on a Mac, with a small dashboard you open in the browser. It shows usage for the current session and the week, and compares it with how much of the week has passed. When I cross 60, 80 and 90% of the weekly limit, it sends an email.

Result

One glance tells me whether I can keep working without rationing.

How it works

• It reads the same usage data that the /usage command shows in Claude Code.
• It compares usage with how much of the week has passed, so I can see at a glance whether I'm going too fast or can work without holding back.
• When the weekly limit crosses 60, 80 and 90%, it sends an email, once per threshold each week.
• It runs in the background from login and needs no extra libraries.

Technology: Python (no extra libraries), browser dashboard, macOS
