Claude Fuel Gauge
Claude Fuel Gauge is a browser and terminal plugin for Claude that tracks usage limits and stops requests at 95%.
Claude Fuel Gauge is an unofficial productivity plugin designed to monitor and display usage limits for Claude users. It reads 5-hour windows, weekly windows, and context fill straight from session responses to keep track of limits. The tool displays mini bars next to prompts, provides warnings at set thresholds, and enforces a hard stop at 95% capacity to ensure work finishes cleanly. It is built for developers and heavy users who run long tasks and want to avoid getting cut off mid-edit. The plugin operates without making additional API calls on its own and integrates with terminal environments, desktop apps, and Cowork chats.
