Menu bar dashboard for AI programming quotas
Burnstate is a small utility for the Mac menu bar that monitors your usage of AI programming quotas. It keeps track of your session limits, weekly quotas, and individual model quotas for Claude Code; session and weekly quotas for Codex; the amount of data used by Cursor within a billing cycle; as well as the remaining balance of Vercel AI Gateway.
What makes it different from the ordinary “remaining percentage” is that it takes time into account. Each progress bar includes a scale that indicates how much time has already passed within the current billing period. If your usage exceeds this scale, it means you are consuming resources faster than expected. The system will immediately notify you in plain language and estimate approximately when you will run out of resources.
For CLIs or clients that have already logged in, they will directly read the existing login status without making any changes; those that have not logged in can also connect via a browser or API Key within the Burnstate interface. In addition, there are features such as rest timing, usage reports, and desktop widgets available.
It requires macOS 15 or later. The monthly subscription fee is $3.99, or you can purchase a one-time license for $49.99. Developers who use multiple programming agents simultaneously and frequently encounter rate limits will find this tool particularly useful.
