You can display session costs and context usage in your Windows terminal by installing a multi-line PowerShell statusline. It shows model information, session costs, context window fill, and API rate limits directly in your Claude Code prompt.

Yes, you can track 5-hour and weekly API rate limits directly in the Claude Code prompt by installing a multi-line PowerShell statusline. It visualizes usage bars with reset countdowns so you can monitor spending and avoid hitting limits during long sessions.

The statusline requires PowerShell 5.1+ and Windows Credential Manager access for OAuth fallback. It writes configuration to the Claude settings.json file with backup and rollback support, but requires no external dependencies.

You can customize the color scheme by choosing from six built-in palettes like Solarized, Nord, Dracula, or HighContrast when running the installer script. You can also add your own custom palette by editing the installer script directly.

The Classic variant is a stable single-script version, while the Extended variant offers a widget-host platform with 14 bundled widgets, Braille sparklines, mode-aware layouts, and an NDJSON events stream for external observability of your terminal usage.

If the statusline fails to update, it may be due to Windows Credential Manager access issues preventing OAuth fallback, or PowerShell version incompatibility. The installer provides backup and rollback support for the settings.json configuration to recover from errors.
