claude-burn-rate

Theccburntool is designed to help users of Anthropic's Claude Code keep track of how quickly they are using their AI tokens. It was created because sometimes it is hard to know if you are using too many tokens too fast, especially with new limits and bonuses that can be confusing.

Benefits

ccburnhelps users see their token usage in real time. It shows charts that compare how many tokens you have used to how many you expected to use. This helps you know if you are spending too much or if you are on track. It also has a special "compact mode" that shows a quick summary of your usage, which is useful for status bars on your computer.

Use Cases

This tool is useful for anyone who uses Claude Code for coding or other tasks. It can help you manage your session limits, weekly limits, and even specific limits for the Sonnet version of Claude. You can use it to see how much you have used in the last 5 hours, or over the whole week. It can also be used for scripting or to look closely at your recent activity.

Vibes

Users have found existing tools for checking token usage, like the/usagecommand or website displays, to be not clear enough about spending speed.ccburnwas developed to fill this gap by providing a more visual and immediate understanding of token consumption.

Additional Information

Theccburntool was built using Claude Code itself. The developers usedccburnto monitor their own token spending while building the tool, which they described as a "pretty meta" process. Installation options includenpx,npm global, orpip, with WinGet support coming soon.
