TL;DR

Implement a warning system to alert users when they are close to reaching their usage limit, and provide a way to check remaining budget from the CLI.

Guidance

• Investigate the Anthropic API to see if it provides a way to retrieve the current usage and limit, which can be used to implement a warning system.
• Modify the Claude Code CLI to display a warning message when the user is 5% away from reaching their limit, based on the usage data retrieved from the API.
• Consider adding a command to the CLI that allows users to check their current usage and remaining budget.
• Review the error handling in the Claude Code to ensure that it provides a clear and informative error message when the user reaches their limit, including the time until the limit resets.

Example

# Example of a warning message that could be displayed when the user is close to reaching their limit
echo "Warning: You are 5% away from reaching your usage limit. Your limit will reset on Apr 15 at 10pm (America/Chicago)."

Notes

The implementation of the warning system and the CLI command to check usage will depend on the specifics of the Anthropic API and the Claude Code architecture. Additionally, the exact wording and timing of the warning message will need to be determined based on the requirements of the application.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a warning system and a CLI command to check usage, as this will provide a clear and informative way for users to manage their usage and avoid unexpected lockouts.
