Feature Request: Live Usage Limit Tracker Widget — iOS & Android

Problem

Power users — especially developers running intensive sessions — hit usage limits mid-task with zero advance warning. The only way to check remaining capacity today is opening the app or navigating through settings. This creates friction that directly disrupts deep work.

Proposed Solution

A native home screen widget displaying:

• Current usage status at a glance (e.g. "76% remaining")
• Time until next reset (e.g. "Resets in 42 min")
• Optional: plan tier indicator

Technical Feasibility

• iOS: WidgetKit (SwiftUI) — background-refreshed local cache
• Android: Glance API (Jetpack Compose)
• Data source: existing usage/limit API endpoint, polled at configurable intervals

Business Impact

• Retention: Keeps Claude on the user's home screen — most competitive slot in mobile UX
• Proactive planning: Users schedule intensive tasks around remaining capacity
• Upgrade signal: Users who see real-time usage patterns are more likely to upgrade
• Low implementation cost, high perceived value
