How to track your Claude usage and limits
A simple way to see your Claude 5-hour session and weekly limits in real time, know when they reset, and avoid surprise lockouts.
Claude’s limits are real but invisible — you only find out you’ve hit one when it stops you. Here’s how to see exactly where you stand before that happens.
Claude’s limit windows
Claude meters usage in a rolling 5-hour session window and a longer weekly (all-models) limit, on Pro and Max plans. Both refill on their own schedule, but the app doesn’t show you a clear countdown.
See your usage in real time
Install the free LimitWise Chrome extension and open claude.ai. A compact usage bar appears showing your 5-hour and weekly usage, your message count, and a reset timer — read from your own session and kept in your browser.
Pace a long session
LimitWise also estimates how fast you’re burning through a window (depletion velocity) and warns you as you approach a limit, so you can slow down or wrap up instead of getting cut off.
When you do hit a limit
You don’t have to stop. LimitWise can hand your conversation to ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or DeepSeek in one click, so you keep working while Claude’s window resets.
