Burnline shows Claude Code users exactly how fast they’re burning quota
Mr-Angry-Capybara · reddit · 2026-07-24
A developer built burnline, an open-source statusline for Claude Code that shows exactly how fast you’re consuming usage limits.
It displays:
- 5-hour session usage
- weekly rate-limit usage
- a reset-clock tick mark
- context-window and session-cost information
The tool is designed so users can see whether they are safely behind the reset point or burning through quota too quickly, and it even tells them how long to wait for the clock to catch up.
Setup is a single command:
npx -y burnline
The author says it does not phone home and only uses data already exposed by Claude Code’s statusline. The project is open source and invites PRs and visual improvements.
