Claude Code usage and quota on Mac

Claude Code is the one client that can tell you how much of the current five-hour window a single session is using.

At a glance

QuotaSession, weekly, weekly per model family

Credentials readExisting sign-in only

What you see

A session window, a weekly window across all models, and a weekly window per model family, each with its own reset time. The plan badge comes from your subscription, with Max refined to its 5× or 20× tier.

How the account is named

The account and organization the engine reports, labelled with the sign-in email. A login change between two readings discards that reading rather than mixing the two.

Running turns and completions

Both running turns and completions are detected. Sub-agent transcripts never start or finish a turn of their own.

What Agent HUD reads

The transcripts under the Claude projects folders, and the config file for your tier and account. It uses the engine's existing sign-in and reads nothing from the keychain; the reading itself sends no prompt and is never billed.

Common questions

Why does Agent HUD show no quota for my Claude Code?
An API-key login or a third-party gateway has no plan limits to read, so no window appears. A signed-out engine asks for a new sign-in, and the reason is named beside the account. Local activity and token counts still work either way.
What does the session share mean?
It is that session's share of the tokens in the running five-hour window, times how much of that window is used. Claude Code is the only client that can show it; everywhere else the figure is a dash.
