I'm ok using a limited resource _if_ I know how much of it I am using. The lack of visible progress towards limits is annoying.

Totally agree with this. I live in constant anxiety not knowing how far into my usage I am in all the time.

npx ccusage@latest

I'm assuming it'll get updated to include these windows as well. Pass in "blocks --live" to get a live dashboard!

Oh wow, this showed me the usage stats for the period before ccusage was installed, that’s very helpful especially considering this change.

ETA: You don’t need to authenticate or share your login with this utility, basically zero setup.

Does ccusage (or claude code with subscription) actually tell you what the limits are or how close you are too them?

It's not exactly the same thing, but imagine my complete surprise when, in the middle of a discussion with Copilot and without warning, it announced that the conversation had reached its length limit and I had to start a new one with absolutely no context from the current one. Copilot has many, many usability quirks, but that was the first that actually made me mad.

ChatGPT and Claude do the same. And I have noticed that model performance can often degrade a lot before such a hard limit. So even when not hitting the hard limit, splitting out to a new session can be useful. Context management is the new prompt engineering...

The craziest thing to me is that it actually completely stopped you in your tracks instead of upselling you on the spot to continue.

You can't really predict usage of output tokens, too, so this is especially concerning

Like when Claude suddenly decides it's not happy with a tiny one-off script and generates 20 refined versions :D
