Claude Usage Pacer

A tiny browser extension that marks how much of the week has already passed on Claude's weekly usage bar, so you can tell at a glance whether you're on track to run out before the limit resets.

If 40% of the week has gone by but you've already used 60% of your weekly limit, you're burning through it too fast. The extension makes that comparison instant: usage is the filled bar, time elapsed is the small marker above it.

Works in Brave, Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Firefox.

How it works

Claude's settings show a weekly "All models" limit that resets on a fixed day and time (for example, "Resets Sun 6:00 AM"). The extension reads that reset label (in whatever language Claude is set to), works out how far into the current week you are, and draws a marker at that spot on the bar. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.

Install

The Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons listings are on their way. Until they go live, install it by hand from this repo. There's no build step. It's just a handful of files.

First, download or clone this repo (or grab the zip from the latest release and unzip it).

Brave / Chrome / Edge / Opera

  1. Open brave://extensions (or chrome://extensions, edge://extensions).
  2. Turn on Developer mode.
  3. Click "Load unpacked" and pick the repo folder.

Firefox

  1. Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
  2. Click "Load Temporary Add-on" and pick manifest.json.

Firefox drops temporary add-ons when it restarts, so you'll need to load it again after a restart.

Then open Claude's settings → Usage, and the marker shows up on the weekly bar.

Permissions and privacy

The extension runs only on claude.ai, asks for no other permissions, makes no network requests, and collects nothing. It reads the reset time already shown on the page and draws a single element. That's the whole thing.
