Problem

You cannot see how much of the session window is left without leaving the thread. /usage-limits and Usage → Limits both exist (#9875), but each is a step away, and the turn that hits the limit is the one you just sent. Claude Code puts this number in its status line and Codex CLI in /status.

Asked for in #8520, #11563, #6993, and the original #5539 / #6896. Two composer attempts were closed: #11243 (hover popover, permanent control, expired windows drawn as full) and #10802 (bar below the chat). #10707 and #10841 are still open with other placements. This one is deliberately smaller and answers each reason in the #11243 close note.

Fix

  • Off by default. New usageLimitsMeterEnabled setting under Settings → General, next to the context window meter, same opt-in shape.
  • One bar, one number. Percent left in the session window of the selected provider; providers without a session window fall back to the window with the least left. Amber at 20%, red at 5%.
  • Not a new surface. Click does exactly what /usage-limits does. Hover is a plain tooltip with the window name and reset countdown, no popover.
  • Stale is unknown, not full. Once the window's reset time passes without a fresh reading, the bar goes empty and the label shows a dash until the provider reports again.
  • Nothing new on the wire. Reads the usageLimits snapshot the config stream already carries. Repaints at most once a minute on the shared clock.
  • Tests cover the logic, not markup. usageLimitsMeterWindow and windowExpired live in packages/shared with unit tests. The block trails the footer controls, overflows first in the resting strip, and does not raise the overflow menu on its own.

Mobile is untouched; it can reuse the shared helper later.

UI

Settings → General:

Composer, Claude session with 81% left:

Resting composer, meter in the strip:

Before: the footer ends at Full access, as on main today.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new interactive quota meter, settings surface, shared quota-selection logic, and composer layout integration rather than making a narrowly isolated change. It also introduces a new defaulted product setting and has an unresolved medium-severity data-coverage finding affecting source-account quotas.

Not approved because:

  • 1 blocking correctness issue found at or above your repo's Minimum Blocking Severity

Explanation

Issue #11243 requires an always-visible meter. This PR adds an opt-in meter controlled by settings.usageLimitsMeterEnabled, which defaults to false. Issue #11243 requires a popover with every usage window, including label, percentage, bar, pace, and reset countdown. UsageLimitsMeter shows one window in a tooltip. Issue #11243 requires the error color at 10% or less. UsageLimitsMeter uses a 5% threshold. The PR does implement the existing usage-limits snapshot path, window selection, expiry handling, composer layout work, and shared helper tests. The supplied changes do not establish the required trigger/popover rendering tests.

Resolution

Implement the coding requirements from #11243: make the meter always visible, provide the required all-window popover details, use the 10% error threshold, and add focused trigger/popover tests. If the opt-in single-window tooltip is intended, update #11243 before reassessment.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The usage-limit setting, meter, provider wiring, composer layout, usage-page sizing, documentation, and related tests support #11243. The PR also adds followUpBehavior settings and search entries, queued-message steering, and queue/steer send handling in ChatView. These changes do not implement the usage-limit composer objective.

Users cannot see how much of the session window is left without leaving
the thread: /usage-limits and Usage → Limits are both a step away, and the
turn that hits the limit is the one just sent.

Adds an off-by-default setting (Settings → General → Usage limits meter)
that draws one small bar plus the percent left for the selected provider's
session window, falling back to the window with the least left. Clicking
it opens the same panel /usage-limits does; hover is a plain tooltip. A
window whose reset time has passed without a fresh reading renders as
unknown, never as full quota. The block trails the footer controls and is
the first to overflow in the resting strip, without raising the overflow
menu on its own. Window selection and expiry live in packages/shared with
unit tests; nothing new crosses the wire.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The resting layout reserved overflow-trigger width whenever any block was
hidden, but hiding only the meter renders no trigger, so a band of widths
pushed the mode control into the menu although it fit inline. The layout
now knows how many trailing blocks have no menu entry.

Also break equal-remaining ties by reported window duration before kind,
so a short "other" window is not passed over for a longer weekly one.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A natively disabled button cannot be hovered or focused, so the percent and
reset tooltip was unreachable when there was nothing to open. aria-disabled
keeps the control inert for clicks while the tooltip still works.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…aves

The hidden-block count comes from the last measurement, so it can outlive
the block list it was taken from: the opt-in meter leaves when its setting
is toggled off or its reading ages out. The unclamped slice then counted
back from the end and disagreed with the render loop for a frame. One
clamped list now drives the out-of-flow wrapper, each block's hidden prop,
and the overflow menu.

Adds an invariant sweep over 1-3 blocks, with and without a menuless
trailing block, across host widths.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Macroscope UI Consistency: the static track colour was an inline style;
it belongs in the className. The dynamic fill width/colour stay inline.
CodeRabbit: activeProviderStatus is the settings-overlaid entry, but
usageLimitsOffered checks the raw provider statuses. When the two
disagree, the meter could render from a snapshot the panel does not
offer, leaving it with no breakdown action. Pass the limits only when
they are offered.

🟡 Medium components/ChatView.tsx:10094

The composer usage meter stays hidden when quota exists only in a matching usageLimitSources account, even though the Limits panel displays that quota. usageLimits is sourced exclusively from activeProviderStatus.usageLimits, while collectProviderUsageLimits can obtain limits from source accounts; pass the collected limits to the meter so CLI-proxy/hub-reported quota is available here too.
