Claude Usage Analyst

Turns local ccusage data into a clear, evidence-based explanation of your Claude Code token spend, cost, and quota burn.

Data & AnalyticsIntermediate★ 1,323⑂ 212AI score 9/10Last updated: Aug 8, 2026

What it does

  • Checks that ccusage is installed, then runs the bundled Python analyzer over the date range you choose.
  • Builds evidence tables for total tokens, cost, input/output, cache-create and cache-read tokens, plus a model-by-model comparison of volume and estimated cost.
  • Breaks quota exhaustion down by 5-hour block and explains it in plain language, translating jargon like "cache read" into one-sentence English.
  • Enforces evidence discipline: observed numbers stay separate from interpretation, and it says "quota-like pressure" instead of guessing exact plan accounting.

Who it's for

  • Daily Claude Code / Claude Desktop users wondering why their limit runs out so fast.
  • Team leads tracking or reporting monthly AI spend.
  • Developers deciding which model is worth the cost based on real numbers.

Examples

  1. "Why did I hit my limit before lunch?" → get a 5-hour block table with the burn explanation.
  2. "Was opus or sonnet more expensive this month?" → pass --model-a / --model-b for a side-by-side token and cost comparison.
  3. "Show my last two weeks" → set --since/--until for a daily report with ranks and medians.
