  "summary": "Running into Claude usage limits can disrupt work momentum, and XDA Developers suggests the issue may stem from inefficient AI workflows and habits rather than just the frequency of use.\n\nTo address the lack of detailed information provided by Claude regarding why usage bars increase, a tool called Claude Usage Companion has been developed. According to Dev.to, the current version of the companion provides session and weekly bars, a burn-rate forecast, and attribution from Claude Code. The tool is designed to stay on the user's machine without a backend or telemetry, offering features such as alerts when a limit is hit or when a forecast suggests usage will run out before a reset.",
