Claude Code Usage Bar
A VSCode extension showing Claude Code session limits, context use and cost in the status bar.
Working with a coding agent without seeing consumption is driving without a dashboard. The extension puts what matters in the status bar: the 5-hour and 7-day session limits, how much of the context is already spent, and running cost.
Instrumentation before optimisation. You cannot reduce what you do not measure.
Numbers
6,248 downloads on Open VSX, version 0.42.0, 34 published versions. The repository was created on 13 June 2026, so that is roughly nine weeks of life. MIT licence.
Not a viral number. People who installed it and kept using it.
Where it is not yet
Open VSX only, which serves VSCodium, Cursor and Windsurf. Not on the VS Code Marketplace, which is considerably larger. Same package, and it is queued.
