Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Check my current token usage for [AI_TOOL: Codex/ Claude] in CodexBar. How many tokens do I have left until the next reset? What is the exact reset time? Provide a countdown timer in hours and minutes. Format the response as: 'Tokens remaining: [X]. Reset in: [HH:MM].'

Example Output

Tokens remaining: 1,247,892. Reset in: 14:32.

Your current usage for Claude Code shows you’ve consumed 752,108 tokens out of your monthly quota of 2,000,000. The reset occurs on the 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC. Based on your recent activity, you’re averaging 15,000 tokens per day, so you’re on track to hit the limit around the 15th. If you’re planning a heavy coding sprint this week, consider batching requests or using a local model for smaller tasks to avoid hitting the ceiling early.
