>A status line that shows what you have left
Claude Code is quiet about how much of your session and weekly limits you have spent. This puts both on screen next to your context window, as three stacked bars of the same width, so the one under pressure is obvious at a glance.

# install
/plugin marketplace add realkewal/claude-kit/plugin install usage-bars@claude-kit/usage-bars:installRun all three in Claude Code. The last one is needed because plugins are not allowed to set a status line directly, so it writes the settings entry for you and backs up anything it replaces.
Know before you run out
Each bar carries a reset countdown and a burn rate projection, so you find out you are on pace to hit the limit while you can still do something about it.
Configured, not edited
Bar width, which bars appear, thresholds, glyphs, labels, and every colour live in a plain config file. The script itself stays untouched.
Readable everywhere
No ANSI dim, which many terminals render near 40% opacity. Past the danger threshold a bar gains a cue as well as a colour, so nothing rests on colour alone.
