Unlike other usage monitors, it reads only the JSON data Claude Code already pipes to the status line — no OAuth token, no Keychain access, no network calls, and zero dependencies. Install with a single npx command. Requires a Pro/Max plan and Claude Code v2.1+. ## Content cclimit is a tiny status line for Claude Code that shows how close you are to your plan limits (the 5h and 7d windows) right in your terminal — plus context %, git branch, and session cost. No more spamming /usage. Opus 4.8 | 5h ███████░ 85% 2h53m | 7d █░░░░░░░ 8% 6d18h | ctx 13% | main* | $5.26 The catch with other usage monitors: they read your OAuth token from the Keychain and poll Anthropic's API. cclimit reads ONLY the JSON Claude Code already pipes to the status line — no token, no Keychain, no network. Zero deps, single Node CLI. One command to wire it in: npx @tomascabralh/cclimit install Repo: [https://github.com/tomascabralh/cclimit](https://github.com/tomascabralh/cclimit) (Pro/Max plan + Claude Code v2.1+ for the plan-limit fields) ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Your Claude Code limits are hidden until they're not, and this script surfaces them on every message](https://daily.dev/posts/your-claude-code-limits-are-hidden-until-they-re-not-and-this-script-surfaces-them-on-every-message-dsisjwjut) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [richhickson/claudecodeusage](https://daily.dev/posts/richhickson-claudecodeusage-tpmmh4l2v) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#nodejs](https://daily.dev/tags/nodejs), [#productivity](https://daily.dev/tags/productivity), [#claude-code](https://daily.dev/tags/claude-code) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/tired-of-running-usage-in-claude-code-me-too--ncjgrmyf7) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/tired-of-running-usage-in-claude-code-me-too--ncjgrmyf7","headline":"Tired of running /usage in claude code? me too (╯°□°)╯","text":"cclimit is a lightweight Node.js CLI tool that adds a status line to Claude Code showing plan usage limits (5h and 7d windows), context percentage, git branch, and session cost directly in the terminal.
