Problem

You cannot see how much of the session window is left without leaving the thread. /usage-limits and Usage → Limits both exist (#9875), but each is a step away, and the turn that hits the limit is the one you just sent. Claude Code puts this number in its status line and Codex CLI in /status.

Asked for in #8520, #11563, #6993, and the original #5539 / #6896. Two composer attempts were closed: #11243 (hover popover, permanent control, expired windows drawn as full) and #10802 (bar below the chat). #10707 and #10841 are still open with other placements. This one is deliberately smaller and answers each reason in the #11243 close note.

Fix

  • Off by default. New usageLimitsMeterEnabled setting under Settings → General, next to the context window meter, same opt-in shape.
  • One bar, one number. Percent left in the session window of the selected provider; providers without a session window fall back to the window with the least left. Amber at 20%, red at 5%.
  • Not a new surface. Click does exactly what /usage-limits does. Hover is a plain tooltip with the window name and reset countdown, no popover.
  • Stale is unknown, not full. Once the window's reset time passes without a fresh reading, the bar goes empty and the label shows a dash until the provider reports again.
  • Nothing new on the wire. Reads the usageLimits snapshot the config stream already carries. Repaints at most once a minute on the shared clock.
  • Tests cover the logic, not markup. usageLimitsMeterWindow and windowExpired live in packages/shared with unit tests. The block trails the footer controls, overflows first in the resting strip, and does not raise the overflow menu on its own.

Mobile is untouched; it can reuse the shared helper later.

UI

Settings → General:

Composer, Claude session with 81% left:

Resting composer, meter in the strip:

Before: the footer ends at Full access, as on main today.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an optional usage-limits meter to the chat composer.
    • View remaining subscription quota, reset timing, and expired-limit status for the selected provider.
    • Click the meter to open the full Limits panel, including while drafting attachments or additional context.
    • Added a Usage limits meter toggle under Settings → General; it is disabled by default.
  • Documentation
    • Documented how to enable and use the usage-limits meter.

Users cannot see how much of the session window is left without leaving
the thread: /usage-limits and Usage → Limits are both a step away, and the
turn that hits the limit is the one just sent.

Adds an off-by-default setting (Settings → General → Usage limits meter)
that draws one small bar plus the percent left for the selected provider's
session window, falling back to the window with the least left. Clicking
it opens the same panel /usage-limits does; hover is a plain tooltip. A
window whose reset time has passed without a fresh reading renders as
unknown, never as full quota. The block trails the footer controls and is
the first to overflow in the resting strip, without raising the overflow
menu on its own. Window selection and expiry live in packages/shared with
unit tests; nothing new crosses the wire.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new opt-in, user-facing quota meter with a new composer component, settings persistence, shared usage-window logic, and responsive layout integration. Although existing behavior remains unchanged by default, the feature scope and newly introduced product default warrant human review.

You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.

The resting layout reserved overflow-trigger width whenever any block was
hidden, but hiding only the meter renders no trigger, so a band of widths
pushed the mode control into the menu although it fit inline. The layout
now knows how many trailing blocks have no menu entry.

Also break equal-remaining ties by reported window duration before kind,
so a short "other" window is not passed over for a longer weekly one.

Explanation

Issue #11243 requires an always-visible composer meter. The PR adds a disabled-by-default usageLimitsMeterEnabled setting. Issue #11243 requires a popover with every usage window, including label, percentage, bar, pace, and reset countdown. The PR shows one selected window in a tooltip. Issue #11243 requires the error color at 10% or less. The PR uses 5% or less. The PR does satisfy the selected-provider snapshot path, session and least-quota window selection, expiry handling, accessible meter text, composer placement, and related helper tests. The available change summary does not establish focused tests for the meter trigger and popover rendering.

Resolution

Implement the direct requirements from #11243: remove the default-off visibility gate, show all usage windows with the required details in the popover, use the 10% error threshold, and add focused tests for meter label formatting and trigger/popover rendering. Alternatively, update #11243 before review if the smaller opt-in behavior is now the intended requirement.

aria-disabled instead of disabled when onOpen is undefined, preserving hover and

prevents actions without a handler.

Comment thread apps/web/src/components/chat/UsageLimitsMeter.tsx Outdated
A natively disabled button cannot be hovered or focused, so the percent and
reset tooltip was unreachable when there was nothing to open. aria-disabled
keeps the control inert for clicks while the tooltip still works.
