Guides
What the numbers in your AI coding tools mean, and what to do about them.
- How to check your Claude Code usage
Where to see how much of your Claude Code limit is left on a Mac, what each place is good for, and what to do when a window runs out.
- Claude Code rate limits, explained
What the 5-hour session limit and the 7-day weekly limit actually are, why a window can disappear, and what spends them fastest.
- How to check your Codex usage
Where to see how much of your Codex usage limit is left, why the context window is a different number, and what reset credits are.
- Quota windows and resets
Why every AI coding tool reports its own quota windows, what the percentage actually measures, and when a reset counts as real.
- In, Out and Cache: how token usage is counted
The three token dimensions Agent HUD counts, why reasoning tokens are never added twice, and why cache reads sit apart from the rest.
- Which AI coding tools Agent HUD reads
What Agent HUD can show for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI and the other AI coding clients it reads on your Mac.
The behaviour described here is documented in full, with the code it comes from, in Agent HUD Open. github.com/jazzenchen/agent-hud-open
