Usage tracking

Where the numbers come from and when they refresh.

v1.3.0PolyForm-Strict-1.0.01 min read

ChatGPT reports your remaining limits itself. Better ChatGPT reads those responses in your session: file uploads, pasted text turned into files, image generation, deep research and reasoning messages, each with its reset time. It also shows your plan and the rolling window.

The numbers refresh when ChatGPT refreshes them: when you load a page and after each message. There are no totals or refill estimates, because ChatGPT only reports what is left.

Alerts appear when a limit runs out, runs low, or becomes available again. Choose which limit the header pill shows from the settings dialog.
