Usage & context ​

Two small meters show how much you have left.

Plan usage ​

  1. Look at the ring at the top right. It shows a percent.
  2. Click it to see every window, like Current session and Current week (all models), with when each resets.
  3. The ring turns into a warning icon when you get close to a limit, and shows Limit reached when you hit one.

With CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN (from claude setup-token) the ring shows the session and weekly windows after a turn, or a grey ring with – before one: that token cannot read plan usage. Run claude login to see every window.

Choose which window the ring shows in Settings › Usage limits: Highest usage, Session (5 h) or Weekly.

Continue after a limit ​

When a session stops because of the plan limit, claude-code-ui can send it "continue" once the limit resets.

  1. Turn on Continue automatically after a usage limit resets in Settings › Usage limits.
  2. A note above the prompt box shows when it will continue. Cancel automatic continue stops it.

Sending a message yourself also cancels it. Several stopped sessions continue one after another.

Context window ​

  • Click the ring next to the send button to see what fills the context: messages, system prompt, tools, MCP tools, memory files and skills.
  • It also shows tokens and cost for the session.

Good to know ​

  • The numbers come from your Claude account, the same as /usage in Claude Code.
  • A daemon restart drops scheduled continues.
  • The status bar under the prompt box shows the session's input, output and cached tokens.
