AI Usage Check

Quick Start

python3 scripts/usage_check.py           # Pretty report with gauges
python3 scripts/usage_check.py --json    # JSON output for scripting

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+ (no pip dependencies — stdlib only)
  • Claude Code installed and authenticated (
    claude
    CLI in PATH) — for Anthropic quota
  • OpenClaw installed — for session log token/cost stats

What It Shows

Anthropic (real quota from OAuth API):

  • Weekly utilization % with reset countdown
  • 5-hour rolling window %
  • Model-specific weekly (Sonnet, Opus) when available
  • Extra usage spend vs monthly limit

Other Providers (from OpenClaw session logs):

  • Token counts and call counts per model
  • Auto-detects any provider OpenClaw routes through (Ollama, OpenAI, etc.)

OpenClaw Anthropic breakdown:

  • Per-model token counts and equivalent API cost

How It Works

  • Anthropic quota:
    GET https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage
    using Claude Code's OAuth token from
    ~/.claude/.credentials.json
    (requires
    user:profile
    scope)
  • Token auto-refresh: If the token is expired, the script automatically refreshes it by invoking
    claude --print -p "ok"
    (Claude Code refreshes its own OAuth token on any invocation), then re-reads the updated credentials file. If Claude Code isn't installed, Anthropic quota is skipped gracefully.
  • Session stats: Parses
    ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/*.jsonl
    for per-provider/model token and cost data

Tips

  • Run via Haiku or a lightweight model for heartbeat/background checks — the script just needs to execute, no reasoning required
  • Use
    --json
    for programmatic consumption (cron jobs, dashboards, alerts)
  • Works with any Anthropic subscription tier (Pro, Max, Team, etc.)
