--- name: claude-usage-tracker version: 1.0.0 description: Track Claude.ai token usage and session costs by scraping the Claude.ai usage dashboard. Use when you need to monitor spend or compare usage across sessions. metadata: openclaw: emoji: 📊 requires: bins: - python3 network: outbound: true reason: Fetches usage data from the Claude.ai web dashboard. --- # Skill: Claude.ai Usage Tracker **Last used:** 2026-03-24 **Memory references:** 1 **Status:** Active **Owner:** Becky **Tool:** `scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py` **State file:** `~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/claude-usage-tracker.json` **Python:** `/Users/loki/.pyenv/versions/3.14.3/bin/python3` --- ## When to Use This Skill Activate whenever Nissan asks about: - "How much Claude am I using?" - "How close am I to the limit?" - "Will I run out this week?" - "What's my extra usage spend?" - "How much credit do I have left?" - "Is Sonnet nearly full?" - Any question about claude.ai usage, limits, or billing --- ## Quick Commands ### Check current status ```bash python3 scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py status ``` This shows: current % for session / all-models / Sonnet, extra spend, balance, Langfuse API usage. ### See next-week projection ```bash python3 scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py project ``` Shows daily burn rate, days to exhaustion, 7-day forecast table. ### List recent snapshots ```bash python3 scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py snapshots --last 5 ``` --- ## Logging a New Snapshot (when Nissan shares data) When Nissan tells you percentages from his claude.ai dashboard: ```bash python3 scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py log \ --session \ --all-models \ --sonnet \ --extra-spend \ --extra-limit 200 \ --balance \ --notes "" ``` **Optional reset timers** (minutes from now until reset): ```bash --reset-session # e.g. 213 for 3h33m --reset-all # e.g. 333 for 5h33m --reset-sonnet # e.g. 453 for 7h33m ``` **Example** (from the Mar 20 snapshot): ```bash python3 scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py log \ --session 2 --all-models 58 --sonnet 95 \ --extra-spend 73.83 --extra-limit 200 \ --balance 23.69 \ --reset-session 213 --reset-all 333 --reset-sonnet 453 \ --notes "promo_window" ``` After logging, always run `status` to confirm and share the output with Nissan. --- ## Answering "Best Guess for Next Week" 1. Run `python3 scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py project` 2. Read the **7-day projection table** — this shows projected % per day 3. Check **confidence level** — tell Nissan if it's LOW/VERY LOW (needs more snapshots) 4. Note: Projections during the **promo window (Mar 13–27)** are promo-corrected — they reflect % of the *normal* baseline limit, not the doubled promo limit **Script for answering:** > "Based on [N] snapshot(s), your daily burn is ~X%/day all-models and ~Y%/day Sonnet. At that rate, next week you'd end at ~Z% Sonnet. [Confidence: LOW — I need more data points over different days to refine this.]" --- ## ⚠️ Risk Flags — What to Tell Nissan ### Balance low + auto-reload OFF **This is the critical risk.** Extra usage charges against the prepaid balance. If balance hits $0, extra usage stops — even if the $200 monthly cap isn't reached. Tell Nissan: > "⚠️ Your balance is $X with auto-reload OFF. Once this hits $0, any extra usage beyond your included limits stops immediately. You should either top up your balance or enable auto-reload to avoid unexpected blocks." Current thresholds: - Balance < $20: 🔴 URGENT — flag immediately - Balance $20–$50: 🟡 WARN — mention proactively ### Sonnet near limit (≥ 95%) Tell Nissan: > "⚠️ Sonnet weekly usage is at X%. It resets [day/time]. If you hit 100%, you can still use extra usage budget for Sonnet, but it will draw from your balance." ### All-models near limit (≥ 95%) Same as above — when all-models hits 100%, everything stops unless extra usage kicks in. ### Extra spend cap approaching At >80% of $200: warn that heavy use could hit the hard stop before end of month. --- ## Promo Window Handling (March 2026) Anthropic doubled usage limits Mar 13–27, 2026 **outside peak hours**. During the promo: - The dashboard shows % of the *promoted* (2x) limit - 95% during promo = ~47.5% of the *normal* limit - The tool automatically corrects for this in projections - Snapshots are tagged `is_promo_period: true` and promo-corrected values are stored **After Mar 27:** Limits return to normal. The first post-promo snapshot will likely show lower absolute usage for the same work. --- ## Config Updates If auto-reload status changes: ```bash python3 scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py config --auto-reload true # or python3 scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py config --auto-reload false ``` After promo ends: ```bash python3 scripts/claude-usage-tracker.py config --set-promo false ``` --- ## Calibration Notes **More snapshots = better projections.** Priority asks for Nissan: 1. Capture a snapshot right after a weekly reset (~0% starting point) 2. Capture after a heavy usage day (25%+) 3. These two give us the true daily burn rate with high confidence Until we have 3+ multi-day snapshots, always caveat projections as LOW confidence. --- ## Data Sources | Signal | What it tracks | Reset | |---|---|---| | Session % | 5-hour rolling window | Rolling (5h) | | All-models % | Across all Claude models, weekly | Weekly (Thu ~14:00 AEST) | | Sonnet % | Sonnet 4.x models only, weekly | Weekly (Thu ~16:00 AEST) | | Extra spend | Pay-as-you-go overage (API rates) | Monthly (Apr 1) | | Balance | Prepaid credit remaining | Depletes with extra usage | | Langfuse tokens | OpenClaw API usage (separate!) | Weekly (Fri 4pm AEST) | **⚠️ Important:** Langfuse tracks *OpenClaw API key* usage, NOT claude.ai web usage. They are separate but may correlate (active project weeks = both go up).
