Monitoring Shared Usage Limits Across Claude and Claude Code

[yabasha]

According to Anthropic, "Both Pro and Max plans offer rate limits that are shared across Claude and Claude Code, meaning all activity in both tools counts against the same usage limits." Since they share sessions, is there a way to monitor usage beyond just using ClaudeCode?

That would be a great feature, but unfortunately it's not currently possible. The ccusage tool works by scanning local JSONL files that contain detailed usage data generated specifically by Claude Code. Since we don't have access to the cloud-based usage data from the web interface, there's no way to combine both sources to provide a complete picture of your total usage across both platforms.

@ryoppippi please, correct me if I'm wrong!
