Usage Bar for Claude

See your Claude usage limits, a live token counter and the prompt-cache timer — directly on claude.ai.

Usage Bar for Claude is a free, open-source Chrome extension that displays your Claude plan usage (5-hour limit, weekly limit, extra credits), how much of the context window your conversation has used, and a prompt-cache countdown, as a compact bar on claude.ai. It reads the same usage data as Claude's own settings page, entirely inside your browser — no account, no analytics, no external servers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I see my Claude usage limits?

Install Usage Bar for Claude and open claude.ai. The bar shows your 5-hour limit usage as a percentage with a reset countdown; hovering reveals the weekly all-models limit, extra credits and Routines — the same numbers as Settings → Usage, without leaving the conversation.

How do I check how much of my Claude 5-hour limit is left?

The main bar is exactly that: percent of the rolling 5-hour limit used with a live “resets in …” countdown. At 100% the bar turns red, so you see it before Claude starts declining messages.

Does Claude have a token counter?

Claude.ai shows limited token information natively. Usage Bar for Claude adds a persistent context-window donut: hover it for estimated tokens used, context length consumed (e.g. 34k / 200k), and total tokens across the conversation, including edited branches.

Is it private?

Yes. Only same-origin requests to claude.ai with your existing session. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party servers; conversation text is processed in memory only, never stored or transmitted. Read the privacy policy.

Which plans does it work with?

It displays whatever limit rows Claude's usage API returns for your account — Pro, Max, Team or free. Rows your plan doesn't have simply show as “—”.
