Claude Code statusline: graphical quota + pace indicator Paste the prompt below into Claude Code. It will modify ~/.claude/statusline-command.sh (creating it if needed) and wire it into ~/.claude/settings.json so your statusline shows your Claude.ai subscription quota usage with a graphical bar and a pace tick that tells you whether you're burning through quota faster than the clock.
Example rendered output:
5h █████▏░░░░ 60% (red — burning fast) 7d █░░░░▏░░░░ 15% (green — well under pace)
