Plan around Claude and Codex limits with a reset reminder
Check your saved usage before a task and import a calendar reminder for a known reset. How Much Usage does not send background usage alerts.
Updated September 6, 2026
Finding an account at its limit is frustrating when you were ready to work. A quick manual check can help you choose another account or decide when to return.
Check before you start
Open How Much Usage and press Refresh all. Review every reported allowance and its reading age. Recent cached readings or a provider cooldown can mean a refresh does not make another provider request immediately.
Make a reminder for a known reset
- Choose the reset you want to revisit on the dashboard.
- Download the calendar reminder and import it into your calendar app.
- Check that the event time and your calendar’s notification settings suit you.
- When the event arrives, refresh the dashboard to confirm the latest allowance.
What the reminder means
The calendar event is based on a reported reset time. Delivery depends on your calendar settings; it is not a live limit warning. How Much Usage does not run scheduled usage checks or send browser push, Telegram or webhook alerts.
A saved view beside your work
The web widget offers a compact view of saved readings. It can help you remember where you stood, but it does not monitor usage in the background. After a dashboard refresh, reload the saved reading in the widget.
Frequently asked questions
- Can How Much Usage warn me before I hit a limit?
- It does not send live threshold alerts. Request a manual check and inspect the reported limits before starting work.
- Can a reminder work when my laptop is closed?
- An imported event can notify you through your calendar app, depending on that app’s settings and devices. How Much Usage does not deliver the notification or check capacity at that time.
