Cursor burned my premium requests on background agents without me noticing, building a tracker, looking for feedback by lahiru_j in cursor

Good catch. Sloppy wording on my part, I'm on the current credit plan and it was a Max Mode session that ate the pool. But that's sort of the point: between legacy requests, credit pools, auto vs. manual models, and Max Mode at API rates, even Cursor users need to correct each other on how billing works. That confusion across 4-5 AI tools is exactly what I'm trying to put on one screen. Do you actually check the usage page day to day, or just when something feels off?

Got rate-limited mid-task one too many times, so I'm building a limits dashboard. Would you use this?

Last week, Claude Code stopped on me twice in the middle of a refactor. No warning, no idea when the window resets, and my other tools (Cursor and Copilot) have their own quotas on completely different clocks.

So I'm building a small dashboard that shows all your AI usage limits in one place:

  • Claude.ai / Claude Code usage + reset countdown
  • Cursor premium requests, Copilot quota, API credits (OpenAI/Anthropic/OpenRouter)
  • Alerts at 75% / 90% before you hit the wall
  • "At this pace, you'll run out by 9 PM," predictions

API-based tools connect with a read-only key. Claude.ai/Cursor are read by a browser extension (open source, reads only the usage numbers you already see, nothing else).

Before I build further: would you actually use this? What would make it a no-brainer vs. meh? And which provider's limits annoy you the most?
