claude-statusline-burnrate
Stop opening /usage. It's all right there.

Real server-side rate_limits — the same numbers /usage shows — answers what you actually want: am I ok, and how hard can I push? Pure bash + jq. No node, no daemons, no estimates.
The pacing math counts awake hours, so the trend doesn't fall "behind" every night while you sleep.
Install
Needs jq and Claude Code v2.1+.
Easiest — you already have an AI open. Paste this into Claude Code:
Install the status line from github.com/Gui-Gou/claude-statusline-burnrate: download
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gui-Gou/claude-statusline-burnrate/main/statusline.sh
to ~/.claude/statusline.sh, chmod +x it, then set statusLine to
{"type":"command","command":"~/.claude/statusline.sh"} in ~/.claude/settings.json
without touching my other settings.
By hand — two commands:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gui-Gou/claude-statusline-burnrate/main/statusline.sh -o ~/.claude/statusline.sh
chmod +x ~/.claude/statusline.sh
Then add to ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "~/.claude/statusline.sh" }
}
Open a new session. That's it.
Try it first
git clone https://github.com/Gui-Gou/claude-statusline-burnrate && cd claude-statusline-burnrate
./demo.sh # the four states below, fake data
./demo.sh --live # animated

Colors, thresholds, mascots, cat moods: each is a short case block in ~300 lines of commented bash. Make it yours.
A ⭐ helps the next dev find it before a rate-limit panic.
