• Chernobyl Heatmap: Character-by-character scan animation for revealing historical data.
• Provider Tracking: Support for GitHub Copilot, Anthropic, OpenAI, and more.
• Claude Local Monitor: Reads Claude Code analytics from ~/.claude/stats-cache.json (offline).
• Quota & Cost: Track both usage limits (requests) and cost caps (USD).
• Theme Support: Unified "success" (scanline) aesthetics.
• Auto-Config: Prompt-based credential setup for new providers.
  • bun run start

The app will also create .usage-limits.config.json in your project folder for local settings and stored credentials.

Global:

• q or Ctrl+C quit
• r refresh usage
• t cycle theme
• s go to settings
• d go to dashboard
• tab toggle dashboard/settings

Dashboard:

• ↑/↓ or j/k move selection
• enter configure selected provider

Settings:

• ↑/↓ or j/k move selection
• space enable/disable provider
• e or enter set credentials
• b toggle billing mode (quota / payg)
• m set monthly limit
• u set manual used value
• c set manual cost

For billing usage reports:

• User endpoint typically needs Plan (read).
• Organization endpoint typically needs Administration (read) on the organization.
• You can use:
  • Fine-grained PAT
  • GitHub App user access token

This app queries the monthly premium-request endpoint across the last 24 months, keeps model-level breakdown for the current month, and builds the graph from monthly trend points.

• xDIST reads Claude Code usage from ~/.claude/stats-cache.json.
• It shows message-based activity (7d/30d/365d), model token totals, and historical daily usage.
• Remaining % / hard rate-limit values are not available from this local Claude cache format.
• No additional API calls are made for this local mode.

Provider adapters live in src/providers/index.ts.

To add a new provider:

1. Add a provider definition to PROVIDERS
2. Implement isConfigured and fetchUsage
3. Add any provider-specific config fields if needed
