Practical notes on tracking coding-agent usage โ no fluff, dated, kept current.
What a Claude Code usage number counts โ input, output and cache tokens โ why cache dominates the total, and how to read it per day, week or agent.
Check Claude Code usage in order: the built-in /usage screen, the local transcripts, then ccclub for a dated history โ and how to read what you get.
How Claude Code rate limits work on Pro and Max โ the 5-hour rolling window, weekly caps, when each one resets โ and how to see exactly where you stand.
How a Claude Code cost figure is built โ list-price table, the four token buckets, provider-reported costs โ and why on a subscription it is not a bill.
A Claude Code statusline showing model, effort, your 5h and 7d limit percentages and your group rank โ drawn from cache, with no network call to render.
Check Codex usage with /status, find the session logs in ~/.codex/sessions/, and see the tools that report Codex tokens โ alongside Claude Code.
ccusage reports your own local usage; ccclub is the ccusage alternative for a shared board โ friends or a team ranked on one leaderboard, auto-synced.
Which Claude Code leaderboard is public and which stays private to friends or teammates: viberank, ccgather, tokenleaders and ccclub. (We build ccclub.)
