A developer has released CC Meter, an open-source Windows tray widget designed to track Claude Code and Codex rate limits. The tool displays the percentage of limits used, reset times, and a real-time pace indicator to show if a user is on track to hit their limit before the window resets. It operates locally by reading the user's local OAuth tokens and credentials to query Anthropic and the Codex CLI directly, without using a hosted service.
It helps developers manage undocumented and strict rate limits during active AI coding sessions.
