How Much Claude Left?

MCP Tools

Check how much Claude Max / Claude Pro subscription quota you have LEFT — not how much you spent. Most usage tools track API billing or token costs. This one answers the real question: 'Am I about to hit my limit?' Shows remaining % for session and weekly windows, plan type, and exact reset times. Works by automating Claude Code CLI's /usage command via tmux — no API keys, no Admin keys, no reverse engineering. Just your subscription status, instantly. Use whenever someone asks: 'how much Claude do I have left', 'am I rate limited', 'when does my quota reset', 'check my usage', 'claude limits', '还剩多少', '查用量', '还能用吗', 'why is Claude slow'. Also use as a first diagnostic when the user hits rate limits or Claude feels sluggish.

Claude Quota Checker

How much Claude do you have LEFT?

Most tools tell you how much you spent. This one tells you how much you have remaining — the question that actually matters when you're working and worried about hitting limits.

Checks your Claude Max/Pro subscription quota by automating the /usage command via tmux. No API keys needed, no Admin keys, no complex setup.

How It Works

  1. Creates a temporary tmux session with a scratch git repo
  2. Launches Claude Code CLI
  3. Handles the "trust this folder" prompt automatically
  4. Sends /usage command
  5. Captures and parses the output
  6. Cleans up tmux session

Usage

bash ./scripts/check-usage.sh

Note: Run from the skill directory, or use the full path based on where you installed this skill. The script auto-detects its own location.

Output

  • Plan type: Pro or Max (e.g., "Opus 4.6 — Claude Max")
  • Session usage: current session % used
  • Weekly usage: all models % and Sonnet-only %
  • Reset time: when the weekly quota resets

Error Handling

ProblemSymptomFix
tmux not installedcommand not found: tmuxbrew install tmux
Claude CLI not in PATHSession hangsInstall Claude Code CLI, ensure claude is in PATH
Auth expired"Please log in" in outputRun claude manually and re-authenticate
Git not installedScript fails at git initbrew install git

If the script hangs for >15 seconds, it likely means Claude CLI couldn't start. Kill with: tmux kill-session -t cu-*

Requirements

  • macOS or Linux
  • tmux installed
  • claude CLI in PATH
  • Active Claude Code authentication (Pro or Max subscription)
  • git installed (for scratch repo)

Performance

~8-10 seconds (bottleneck: Claude Code CLI startup time).

Limitations

  • Only checks subscription usage (Pro/Max), not API billing
  • Requires a running terminal environment (won't work in sandboxed containers)
  • Output parsing depends on Claude Code CLI's /usage format — may break if Anthropic changes the output layout
