Everything you need to stay under your Claude limits

Session, weekly & Fable limits
Your 5-hour session, weekly and Fable usage with live reset countdowns, updated every minute.
Extra usage tracking
Paying past your plan limits? See your extra usage spend against your monthly limit. For Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise accounts with extra usage on.
Limit forecast
Measures your pace and warns "~1h 20m left" when you're on track to hit the limit before it resets.
Limit alerts
Desktop notifications at the thresholds you choose (50%, 75%, 90%), for session, weekly and extra usage. One switch turns them off.
Chat & Claude Code tokens
See how big the current chat is ("~36.9K tokens"), plus exact input, output and cache tokens in Claude Code sessions.
Fits any window

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about Claude limits and how the meter works.
Is Claude Usage Meter free?
Yes. The extension and the desktop app are free, with no account, sign-up or API key.
How do I check my Claude usage limit?
Claude shows it under Settings › Usage. With Claude Usage Meter, the same session and weekly numbers sit above the chat box and on the toolbar icon, so you can see them at a glance without leaving your chat.
When does my Claude usage limit reset?
Claude has a 5-hour session limit and a weekly limit, and each resets at its own time. The meter shows both as live countdowns (for example “Reset in 2h 0m”), so you always know when you get your usage back.
Which Claude plans does it work with?
All of them: Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. On paid plans you see session, weekly and Fable limits straight away. On the Free plan, Claude only reports usage in its replies, so the meter fills in after your first message.
When does the extra usage counter appear?
Only when extra usage is turned on for your account. On Pro and Max you turn it on yourself in Claude's Settings › Usage; on Team and Enterprise your admin does. It then shows how much you've spent beyond your plan limit this month, against your monthly limit.
What does the limit forecast do?
It measures how fast you're using your session and, if you're on pace to hit the limit before it resets, shows how long you have left (for example "~1h 20m left"). It needs about 12 minutes of activity to measure your pace, and stays hidden while you're on track.
Is my data safe?
Yes. The extension reads only the usage data Claude already shows you, inside your own browser. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Brave and other Chromium-based browsers. There's also a desktop app for macOS and Windows.
Is there a usage meter for ChatGPT or Gemini?
Yes. ChatGPT Usage Meter and Gemini Usage Meter are free sister extensions from SelectorsHub with the same minimal design.
Is this an official Anthropic product?
No. Claude Usage Meter is an independent tool built by SelectorsHub. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
