This is great. I built a UI tool to run simultaneous Claude Code sessions ( https://github.com/stravu/crystal ) but by working on multiple features at once I hit the limits of my max account. Usually close to the reset, but it would be nice to know when it is time to take a break.
you are a saint.

I've been wondering this too. They said on a podcast that the average usage is around $6 a day in credits but I really question that. If that's the case though and they do have a lot of Pro and higher tier subscribers that might be making up the difference.
Interesting, do you recall which podcast this was on?
nice ship! I wrote a blog post on how to observe trends over time for a team via OTel, but I prefer your method for individual development! https://ma.rtin.so/posts/monitoring-claude-code-with-datadog...
I like this solution, I had tinkered with the Otel hoping to get un-redacted prompt and responses but had no luck. Did you perhaps get deeper into what data was useful?
Disclaimer - I work at Anthropic but not on Claude Code, the team is responsive via GH issues though!

For cursor users, a similar extension to monitor usage: https://github.com/Dwtexe/cursor-stats
I did a bisect and found this one to be consuming ~1.5gb memory alone and that's when I removed it. YMMV.
Very neat! Is the limit on Pro really only 7k tokens? So less than 7k words? I feel like I get more out of that. It feels like that would blow up pretty quickly with an ongoing chat, but I never hit that. Or is this a Claude Code specific limit? I haven't used Claude Code extensively yet.
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.
For 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.

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…
I found I can hit the limit very quickly if I have it scan large quantities of code for analysis. If I try to be more surgical, and give it terse but accurate documentation and instructions, the budget lasts longer.

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
Huge margins on API lol, there's a reason the guys from deepseek told everyone that its bullshit that the big boys aren't making money, research is expensive but the inference isn't especially with the comments that even Sam Altman mentioned regarding pricing per response for the chat clients.

I got into software in a time where you would get sent to a mental institution when spotted using emojis in a code base. Times have changed.. I use emojis regularly because they help me organize context more visually. Code has now many emojis to keep me happy.
This code was written in pure vibe-coding style — mostly for fun. I've got about 10 years of experience in IT, and even I fully agree: a 1000-line main file like this one probably deserves to be locked away in a secure facility. But hey — if it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.
As a separate comment, would it not be better to ask for your plan on first run and setup a config file to remember it? With a note how to change it. Rather than rely on cmd line variables?
Also, shouldn't it be able to pick up the timezone from the local computer? Why would it "default" to a fixed timezone of poland?
