alt Hacker NewsHonestly drives me crazy that CC doesnt show this on the bottom status bar a simple percentage “Weekly Quota Left: 99%” would be useful. Also noticed and idk if it was me or some mishap, a lot of my Claude sessions were not autocompacting, maybe its /loops fault not sure, but it made sense why I finally reached my weekly limit so insanely quickly recently.

The Claude app has a usage indicator when you switch to code mode. I’ve been using this more and more now that their sandbox functionality has Improved.
From their perspective, they don't want
1. Standard tier users increasing their usage just to minimize "wasted" token credits.
2. Higher tier users with extra usage enabled to use and pay for those extra tokens instead of planning to stay within limits.
Doesn't it autocompact only if it is about to run out of context? On these newer models the context is 1M tokens so it's quite difficult to reach. I run compacts manually when I stop in a good place and tokens are over 300k

I wanted the same thing and recently saw this blog post on how to customize the bottom status bar: https://www.aimhuge.com/blog/claude-code-status-line.
I now show my current context window, five-hour quota, weekly quota, current branch and current PR.
It's quite handy!
