Problem
Currently there is no easy way to see, while working inside the editor, how much of the hourly token budget has been consumed and how much is left. When planning longer multi-step tasks (e.g., exploration → plan → implementation → verification) it is hard to guess whether enough tokens remain to finish the current session without hitting the rate/window limit.
Proposed feature
Add a token-usage indicator to the footer/status bar of the editor, for example:
- A percentage label such as
Tokens: 42% used or Tokens left: 58%.
- Optionally a small progress bar that fills up as usage approaches the hourly limit.
- Update it live (or after each turn) so it reflects the current time window.
Benefits
- Developers can decide whether to keep iterating, start verification, or pause/split work before the hourly budget runs out.
- Reduces surprise rate-limit errors in long sessions.
- Helps calibrate prompt size and number of tool calls per turn.
Suggestions
- Show both used and remaining tokens, e.g.
12.3M / 20M (61%).
- Add a subtle warning color when usage crosses 80% or 90%.
- If the limit is reset every hour, show the time remaining until the next reset.
Thank you for considering this!
