Track Claude Code and Codex usage until reset
If you use Claude Code and Codex, ReserveGauge shows each provider's current limits and reset times in one place. It estimates whether your usual weekly usage is likely to last until reset. Your history and forecast stay on your Mac.
Why agentic coding burns limits fast
A coding agent reads files, runs tools and iterates, so longer tasks can use more allowance than short ones. Model choice and context also affect consumption. A quiet session or one unusually heavy task may not represent your use across the full reset window.
What a good tracker should do
- Label readings and forecasts. Show the provider's allowance and reset time with a freshness label, and mark forecasts as estimates.
- Forecast forward. A current percentage doesn't answer the real question: "at my pace, will I make it to the reset?" The useful tool projects your burn forward.
- Use enough history. Your usual weekly quota use across model changes is more useful than treating the last session as the whole week.
- Stay local and private. Your usage data shouldn't have to leave your machine for a meter to work.
- Show both providers together so you can see which allowance is most at risk.
Why a forecast helps
A remaining percentage is a snapshot. Comparing it with recent usage and the time left until reset estimates whether your allowance will last. If your pace points to an early run-out, you can slow down, switch models or finish the critical part first.
When you switch models often
The selected model can change from session to session. ReserveGauge's Smart weekly outlook uses your usual weekly quota consumption across model changes once enough history is available. While history builds, it falls back to a shorter-history estimate. This forecast estimates future use; the provider's reading remains the source for your current allowance.
