Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Check my current Claude AI usage limits and alert me if any quotas are approaching [THRESHOLD_PERCENTAGE]% completion. Specifically monitor: 5-hour usage, 7-day usage, extra usage, 7-day Opus quota, and 7-day Sonnet quota. Provide a breakdown showing current usage vs. limits for each category and suggest next steps if thresholds are exceeded.

Example Output

Here’s your real-time Claude AI usage summary as of 2:45 PM ET on October 12, 2024:

**5-Hour Usage (Limit: 100 messages)**
- Current: 87 messages (87%)
- Status: ⚠️ Approaching threshold
- Next steps: Pause non-critical tasks or switch to a lower-tier model (Haiku) to reset the counter.

**7-Day Usage (Limit: 500 messages)**
- Current: 342 messages (68%)
- Status: 🟡 Moderate usage
- Next steps: Monitor closely; consider batching requests or distributing workloads.

**Extra Usage (Limit: 100 messages)**
- Current: 98 messages (98%)
- Status: 🔴 Critical threshold reached
- Next steps: Immediately switch to a paid plan or pause all non-essential operations until the 7-day counter resets at midnight.

**7-Day Opus Quota (Limit: 50 messages)**
- Current: 23 messages (46%)
- Status: 🟢 Healthy usage
- Next steps: No action required; continue monitoring.

**7-Day Sonnet Quota (Limit: 100 messages)**
- Current: 67 messages (67%)
- Status: 🟡 Moderate usage
- Next steps: Prioritize Sonnet usage for high-impact tasks and reduce reliance on Opus.

**Recommendations:**
1. Pause all extra usage tasks immediately to avoid hitting the hard limit.
2. Reassign 30% of Sonnet tasks to Haiku to free up Sonnet quota for critical work.
3. Schedule a team meeting at 4 PM to redistribute workloads and prevent future overages.

*Tip: Enable Usage4Claude’s menu bar alerts to get real-time notifications when quotas change.*
