Discussion
8 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: DeepSeek (DS4), Claude native usage page, GitHub Copilot CLI
Concerns raised: too complicated compared to simple statusbar, unusable in work environments without admin permissions, users prefer swapping backup models over pacing usage, does not account for holidays/vacations in workday calculation, accuracy when session sample is too sparse
Feature requests: menubar display, accounting for actual workdays without holidays, handling sparse samples for session projection
