claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Expose "extra usage" balance and spend in statusline JSON input [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

To address the feature request, the extra_usage information should be added to the JSON input sent to statusline scripts, allowing users to track their extra usage spend and remaining balance.

Guidance

• The proposed fields in the extra_usage object seem to cover the necessary information, including spent_usd, monthly_limit_usd, used_percentage, balance_usd, resets_at, and auto_reload_enabled.
• To implement this, the backend would need to be updated to include these fields in the JSON output for statusline scripts.
• The schema for the extra_usage object should be stable to ensure compatibility with existing scripts and tools.
• Consider adding documentation for the new fields to help developers understand their usage and formatting.

Example

{
  "rate_limits": {
    "five_hour": {...},
    "seven_day": {...}
  },
  "extra_usage": {
    "enabled": true,
    "spent_usd": 8.37,
    "monthly_limit_usd": 50.00,
    "used_percentage": 16.74,
    "balance_usd": 11.62,
    "resets_at": "2026-05-01T00:00:00Z",
    "auto_reload_enabled": false
  }
}

Notes

The implementation details may vary depending on the specific backend technology and architecture used by Claude.ai. Additionally, ensuring the security and accuracy of the extra_usage data is crucial to prevent potential issues or exploits.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by adding the proposed extra_usage fields to the JSON input, as this will provide the necessary information for statusline scripts to display the extra usage spend and remaining balance.
