litellm - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: User-count badge ("U: X/5") in sidebar overlaps the Settings nav item

• I have searched the existing issues and checked that my issue is not a duplicate.

What happened?

The free-tier user-count badge that floats at the bottom of the left sidebar in the Admin UI (a small pill showing a people icon and U: <current>/5) is positioned on top of the sidebar nav, partially covering the Settings row directly below the Developer Tools section.

Effects:

• The Settings label is visually obscured (only the icon and bottom edge are visible).
• The click target for Settings is reduced — clicks land on the badge instead of the nav item depending on where you aim.
• The badge has no dismiss control and reappears on every page load.

Expected behavior: the badge should not overlap any clickable nav item. Reasonable fixes would be:

• Anchor it below the nav list (push the list up, not overlay it), or
• Make it dismissible / collapsible, or
• Move it into the user dropdown in the header instead of the sidebar.

Screenshot attached.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the OSS LiteLLM proxy with the Admin UI enabled (no enterprise license).
   • e.g. ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:<your-tag> with STORE_MODEL_IN_DB=True and a valid DATABASE_URL.
2. Log in to /ui as proxy_admin.
3. Have at least 1 internal user created so the badge reads e.g. U: 2/5 (the badge shows up regardless of count, but is more obvious with non-zero).
4. Look at the bottom of the left sidebar, just below the Developer Tools section (API Reference / AI Hub / Learning Resources / Experimental).
5. Observe: the Settings row is partially covered by the user-count badge.
6. Try to click the Settings label depending on cursor position, the click is captured by the badge instead.

No special config required reproduces on a fresh install.
