This is pretty cool.. I like the idea, could I make a semi-snarky feature request and could we add the estimated power consumed to produce results for each session ?
Or just straight to CO2. Google said 1000 tokens emits 8.3g CO2. How many tokens used in a heavy vibe coding day? Average US daily per capita is like 40kg CO2

#102Can this be installed with uv? https://github.com/astral-sh/uv
Edit:
# Install uv

# Install the required CLI tool (Node.js)
npm install -g ccusage
# Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/Maciek-roboblog/Claude-Code-Usage-Monitor.git
cd Claude-Code-Usage-Monitor
# Install Python deps with uv
uv add pytz
chmod +x ccusage_monitor.py
# Run it
uv run python ccusage_monitor.py --plan max20 --timezone America/New_YorkRe: Show HN: Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs
#103For a reference point, it says my max session limit in the past was ~337,492 tokens and I have the Max20 plan and 99% use Opus. My total tokens used since I started using Claude Code on May 27th was 1,374,439,311 worth around $3397.34.
Do they have huge margins on API or are they just losing money? I use it everyday but I don't feel like I'm abusing it or anything

I'm around ~2100 dollars equivalent on Max20 plan. Do they have huge margins on API or are they just losing money? I use it everyday but I don't feel like I'm abusing it or anything

By any chance do you remember the source for that? Googling "1000 tokens emits 8.3g CO2" only gets me this thread.
This article [0] mentions "8.3g CO2" but it's linked source [1] uses a different number - 4.32g. Perhaps revised after publication.
I ran the search again and got different numbers... I'm sure the real numbers will be changing quite a bit over time too.

#106This seems like a problem if for example, you hit 90% usage, pass the window, then burn through the remaining 10% quickly and have to wait a long time.

pro is the $20/mo plan that they recently started allowing access to claude code.. but i’ve heard users hit the rate limit with a few queries.. so imo that sounds about right. the chat interface has its own limits separate from claude code.
Has to be wrong. I'm on that subscription as I wanted to reinforce my opinion that it's still shit for devs that actually have experience, like it was a few months ago. While my plan didn't pan out, cuz it was way too effective, I can confidently say that I'm going through 3-6k tokens per prompt on average, and usually get around 3 hours of usage before I'm hitting the rate limit. The limit is probably closer to 300k…

Transforming… (212s · 26.1k tokens · esc to interrupt)
I reset just under 2 hours ago, probably been going at this pace for the last hour or so.

#110I really like this idea as I find Claude's transparency frustrating. Claude code's killer features revolve around better tools to manage context and limits vs the desktop app (compact and the % remaining until auto compact), but it's not enough. If I can offer any advice, it's that the high use of emojis in a project readme (at least for me) looks so unprofessional and makes me worry that a project was vibe -coded in…
> looks so unprofessional and makes me worry that a project was vibe -coded in the sense that the AI was possibly not babysat to the extent I think they should. That's just me, though The irony of comments like this on software designed entirely for ai coding...
