How to watch your 5-hour and weekly usage at a glance with Better Claude

Install Sub Meter to see subscription usage bars in the bottom right of Claude Code.

Who it is forA Claude subscriber who runs heavy sessions and wants to know how much of the 5-hour and weekly windows is left before work stops.

The problemWithout a visible meter, it is hard to tell how close you are to a usage window limit until you hit it.

The outcomeYou see the 5-hour and weekly usage windows as bars in the bottom right of Claude Code.

What you need first

  • Claude Code installed and running
  • Access to the /plugin command inside Claude Code
  • A git repository with changes to commit, for the Commit plugin
  • A system voice available on your computer, for the Narrator plugin

Steps

  1. Run /plugin marketplace add midudev/better-claude in Claude Code.
  2. Run /plugin install sub-meter@better-claude.
  3. Look at the bottom right of the Claude Code window.
  4. Check the bar for the 5-hour window and the bar for the weekly window.
  5. Plan heavy runs around the bars you see.

Prompt for your agent

In Claude Code on a subscription account with the better-claude sub-meter plugin installed, check the bottom right of the window for the 5-hour and weekly usage bars. Expected output: two bars showing current usage in each window. Verify that both bars are visible after restarting the session.

Caveat. The README does not say how often the bars refresh, so do not treat them as a live real-time count.
