A straight line says you'll hit your weekly Claude limit at 4 a.m. on a Friday

Описание и применение

Приложение Claude Code Tray отображает в системном трее текущее потребление квоты Claude, меняет цвет и предлагает время приостановки работы, чтобы избежать превышения недельного лимита.

Задача

Users of Claude Code on a subscription face a weekly usage cap that is hard to anticipate, leading to unexpected quota exhaustion during idle periods.

Результат

The tray app provides an accurate, real‑time visual forecast of weekly quota usage, enabling users to avoid unexpected exhaustion and plan work accordingly.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Install Claude Code Tray via winget or per‑user installer.
• 2. The app reads the OAuth token stored by Claude Code and polls the rate‑limit headers on each interval.
• 3. For the 5‑hour session, it keeps a short rolling history and fits a least‑squares slope to predict near‑term usage.
• 4. For the weekly cap, it compares current usage to an even‑pace line (elapsed ÷ 7 days) and turns the icon red if usage exceeds that line.
• 5. It projects the time to 100% using the rule of three: time to 100% = elapsed × (100 − used) ÷ used.
• 6. If sufficient history (>3 weeks) exists, it shapes the projection based on typical activity patterns; otherwise it uses the straight average‑pace line.
• 7. When the projection indicates early exhaustion, it suggests the earliest hour to pause and resume to finish the week under the limit.
• 8. The tray icon updates in real time, providing a visual cue without needing to open the app.

Доказательства

Claude Code on a subscription has two limits: a 5‑hour session and a weekly cap.

Источник

I built a small Windows tray app, Claude Code Tray, that draws the usage as the icon itself and turns it red when the current pace would reach 100% before the window resets.

The app reads the OAuth token Claude Code already stores on your machine and makes a minimal API call on each poll, only to read the rate‑limit headers.
