- Set display in /config to both, session or week to stop it switching between windows.

How it works
- Takes a first reading at session start, or shows the last one saved
- After each response, reads the five_hour and seven_day rate-limit windows
- Draws a bar, percent and reset time beside the mode, switching windows every 8 seconds
- Drops the (shift+tab to cycle) and esc to interrupt hints to make room
Common questions
How do I see my Claude Code 5-hour usage limit?
This mod shows the 5-hour window as a bar with a percent and the time until it resets, at the bottom right of Claude Code. The bar turns yellow from 75% and red from 90%.
Does Claude Code report a monthly usage window?
No. The README says Claude Code only reports the 5-hour and weekly windows, so there is no monthly one to show.
Can I show the 5-hour and weekly windows at the same time?
Yes. Set display to both in /config to show them side by side, separated by |. The default, rotate, switches every 8 seconds, which rotateSeconds changes.
