Claude Usage Meter — Limits & Chat Backup

About

⌀  Claude Usage Meter — Limits, Artifacts & Chat Backup

Track your Claude usage limits in real time and export your full chat history — including code artifacts — in one click.

The only extension designed to preserve your complete conversation context when moving to a new chat, a new account, or a different AI agent.
 
✦ OVERVIEW

Claude doesn’t show usage data to Free users at all, and Pro/Team users only get limited visibility through a settings page.

Claude Usage Meter brings that information directly into your Claude interface with a live usage bar that updates after every message and optional warnings before you reach your limit.

The export system is where the extension becomes especially useful.
When you hit a context window or usage limit, you often lose access to valuable conversation history, generated code, reasoning, and artifacts. Most export tools only save plain text.

Claude Usage Meter exports the entire conversation, including code artifacts, canvas content, and structured outputs, allowing you to continue your work in a fresh chat, on another account, or inside a different AI assistant without losing context.
 
◈ KEY FEATURES

✧ Live Usage Meter

See your Free, Pro, or Team usage limits update in real time after every message.

No refresh button. No digging through settings.

✧ Works on Free Plans

Claude provides no usage visibility to Free users by default.
This extension surfaces that information automatically.

✧ On-Page Warnings

Receive optional alerts when you reach 80% and 100% of your usage limit.
Plan ahead before your session ends.

✧ Full-Context Export

Export entire conversations as Markdown or JSON with a single click.
Preserve chat messages and generated artifacts together.

✧ Artifact-Aware Export

Includes:

• Code blocks
• Canvas outputs
• Structured artifacts
• Generated content

Most export tools strip these elements and only save plain text.

✧ Scope Control

Choose exactly what to export:
• Full conversation
• User messages only
• Claude responses only

✧ Multiple Export Modes

Switch between:
• Auto Detect
• Chat Only
• Chat + Artifacts

✧ 11 Supported Languages

⌘ WHO IS THIS FOR?

✧ Claude Free Users

Claude provides no visibility into Free plan usage limits.
This extension lets you monitor your remaining quota in real time.

✧ Heavy Claude Users (Pro & Team)

If you regularly perform:
• Research sessions
• Code reviews
• Multi-step projects
• Long conversations
you’ve likely hit limits unexpectedly.

Now you can see them approaching, export your work, and continue elsewhere without losing progress.

✧ Developers Using Claude as an Agent

Many AI workflows allow chat transcripts to be reused.
However, if Claude generated:
• Code
• Diagrams
• Structured artifacts
• Canvas outputs
plain-text exports lose critical information.
Claude Usage Meter preserves those artifacts so another AI agent can continue where Claude stopped.

✧ People Switching Accounts or Plans

Whether you’re:
• Moving to a Team workspace
• Upgrading plans
• Sharing work with a colleague

you can export the full conversation and import it elsewhere.
The exported Markdown and JSON formats are portable and AI-friendly.

❖ FAQ

Q: Does this work on Claude Free?

A: Artifact export includes:
• Code blocks
• Canvas content
• Structured outputs
• Other generated artifacts
These are exported alongside the conversation so the entire context remains intact.

Q: Other tools already export Claude chats. What’s different?
A: Most export tools only save chat text. Claude Usage Meter exports both the conversation and generated artifacts, preserving information that would otherwise be lost.

A: No.
The extension only works on claude.ai in the browser.
