What Changed

An opt-in pill in the sidebar footer, directly above the Settings / Pull Requests / Usage row, that shows each provider's remaining subscription quota. Per provider it shows the share left in the most constrained window, pooled across accounts and environments exactly as Usage → Limits pools them (same collectLimitAccounts / collectLimitPools helpers). It turns amber at 25% left and red at 10%. Hover lists every window with its reset countdown; selecting a segment opens Usage → Limits.

  • New client setting sidebarUsageLimitsEnabled, default off, surfaced under Settings → General → Organization as "Usage limits in sidebar" (searchable, included in restore-defaults).
  • SidebarUsageLimits.logic.ts is a pure view function with tests; SidebarUsageLimitsPill.tsx renders it next to the existing provider-update pill.
  • The Usage page now subscribes to its own preference saves, so the pill can switch it to the Limits tab even when the page is already open. Previously an outside save would have been ignored until remount.
  • docs/user/usage.md documents the toggle.

Why

Follow-up to #6683 (live quota visibility). The Limits tab answers "how much is left?" but only after leaving the conversation, and /usage-limits covers one provider at a time. People running Codex and Claude side by side want the tightest window in view all day without a separate page. The sidebar footer already hosts small status pills and is present on every route, so it fits there without touching the chat view (per the maintainer note in #6683 that the chat view is the wrong place for it).

Design choices, open to change:

  • Opt-in. Default off keeps the chrome unchanged for everyone who does not want it. Flipping the default is a one-line change.
  • One number per provider. The tightest window is what decides whether the next turn runs. Everything else lives in the tooltip and on the Limits tab.
  • No refresh, no timer. It reads the provider snapshots every client already holds (ServerProvider.usageLimits), so it costs no request and never repaints on its own; the reset countdowns are computed when the tooltip opens.
  • Web and desktop only. Mobile has no sidebar; its Usage tab and /usage-limits already cover it.

UI Changes

Full window with the pill, and the Limits tab it opens (numbers match):

Usage → Limits after selecting the pill

Verification

  • vp test run on the new logic test, the preferences test, the Usage page test and the contracts settings test (120 tests passing).
  • tsc --noEmit for apps/web and packages/contracts, vp lint and vp fmt --check on the touched files.
  • Driven in a real browser against a worktree dev server seeded with a copy of my live database: enabled the toggle from Settings, confirmed both providers render with the same figures as Usage → Limits, hovered for the tooltip in light and dark, and confirmed that selecting a segment while already on Usage → Cost switches to Limits.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes (no motion added)

Work done with Claude Fable 5.1 via Claude Code in T3 Code.

Note

Add opt-in usage limits display to sidebar footer

  • Adds a sidebarUsageLimitsEnabled boolean client setting (defaults to false) with a General settings toggle and settings-search entry
  • Adds SidebarUsageLimitsPill to the sidebar footer, rendering one segment per provider with remaining percentage, tone color (ok > 25%, low ≤ 25%, critical ≤ 10%), and a tooltip showing all pooled limit windows
  • Adds collectSidebarLimits aggregation that pools accounts per provider, selects the tightest window for the summary, and sorts by driver
  • Adds a preference subscription system so a mounted Usage page follows metric changes from the sidebar, selecting the Limits metric and closing the mobile sidebar
  • Risk: UsagePage now subscribes via subscribeUsagePagePreferences and resets its time-window selection when the configured day range changes; existing local-storage writes in saveUsagePagePreferences now always notify listeners even on write failure

Macroscope summarized 119b196.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an optional “Usage limits in sidebar” setting.
    • Sidebar footer shows remaining limits by provider, with low and critical indicators.
    • Limit details include usage windows and reset times, with links to Usage → Limits.
    • Usage page preferences now stay synchronized across open views.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for enabling and using sidebar usage limits.

Users with Codex and Claude subscriptions had no way to see how much quota
was left without opening Usage → Limits. An opt-in pill above the sidebar's
utility row now shows, per provider, the share left in its most constrained
window, pooled across accounts the same way the Limits tab pools them.
Hover lists every window with its reset; select it to open Usage → Limits.

The pill reads the provider snapshots every client already holds, so it
costs no request and never refreshes on its own. The Usage page now
subscribes to its own preference saves so the pill can switch it to Limits
while it is already open.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a substantial opt-in sidebar quota feature spanning new UI, settings, aggregation logic, navigation, and Usage-page synchronization rather than making a small isolated adjustment. The new setting is off by default, but its product-default and cross-component runtime implications merit human review.

Notes:

  • No code objects were reviewed. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.

…ports

Codex reports the same window id as a session window on one plan and a
monthly one on another, so the tooltip rows need the kind in their key.
The tone thresholds were exported without a consumer, which knip rejects.

Shared primitives over custom controls: use Button (with a sidebar variant/size if needed) instead of this styled raw <button>.

Suggested fix: Replace the raw element with Button; add any reusable sidebar treatment as a Button variant or size.

Keeping the raw button here on purpose: it matches the footer-pill pattern already in place. Both SidebarProviderUpdatePill (line 170) and SidebarUpdatePill (line 301) render their main clickable area as a raw <button> inside the pill container, because Button brings its own padding, radius and hover surface that fight a flex-1 segment sharing one rounded container. The tone colours also live on the segment, not on a Button variant.
