Super Claude browser extension tracks Claude AI usage velocity and limit predictions
A developer has created a browser extension called Super Claude to provide real-time visibility into Claude AI usage patterns, particularly useful during a month with multiple service outages.
What it does
The extension adds usage velocity indicators directly within the Claude interface. These are colored arrows that show at a glance whether you're consuming your allocation quickly or have room to continue working. It also calculates time-to-100% predictions, allowing users to see when they'll hit their usage limit before it actually happens.
Context and motivation
The developer built this tool after experiencing multiple Claude outages in March 2024, including incidents on March 2-3, March 11, and a cluster of errors the previous week. With the x2 promo ending in three days from the post date, the tool helps users front-load serious work into off-peak windows while they still exist.
Technical details
- Built as a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox
- Developed solo using Claude AI
- Free to install
- Chrome version available at: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/super-claude/hogiifbepjnfjaikjfifaacppefnjblg
- Firefox version available at: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/super-claude/
The developer mentions this is particularly useful for users with the 5-hour allocation who want to better pace their usage during periods of service instability.
