Monitor Usage Limits From CLI

When I first started using Claude Code enough to push the usage limits, I would periodically switch over to the browser to check https://claude.ai/settings/usage to see how close I was getting. That page would tell me what percentage of my allotted usage I had consumed so far for the current 5-hour session and then how long until that 5-hour usage window resets.

This can also be viewed directly in Claude Code for the CLI.

First, run the /status slash command and then tab over to the Usage section. There you will see the same details as in the web view.

I'm also learned, as I write this, that you can go directly to the Usage section by typing the /usage slash command.

See the docs for a listing of all slash commands.
