Adds Settings → Appearance → Usage meters: % left (the default, unchanged) or % used. On mobile it's a Show % used switch under Appearance.

Usage limits only count down today. People arrive with different habits: Claude Code counts up ("Current session: 8% used") and Codex counts down ("5h limit: 28% left"). "Usage" names consumption, so counting up to 100% at the limit reads naturally for many people. The thread details Context row now fills up as context is used (#27892), so with "% used" every meter in the card counts the same way. This PR keeps "% left" as the default.

Scope. This is a focused configuration option for an established capability: the existing usage limit meters. The option only changes which way they count. Same data, same windows, same warning points, no new workflow, no server change, and the default stays "% left". Context window meters are not affected; they always fill up.

In "% used" mode

  • Limits, /usage-limits, the thread details limit rows and the iOS and Android widgets read "N% used", and bars fill as usage grows.
  • The pace tick marks time elapsed, the reset hatch covers the used fill, and the refill hint reads "↻ −19%".
  • Warning colours still change at the same real points.

The setting is client-only (web client settings, desktop settings file, mobile preferences) and never reaches the server, so there is no version skew. Older stored settings decode to "% left", and a widget snapshot published by an older app shows "% left" until the app republishes it.

How I checked it. vp run dev on macOS with real Claude Max and Codex accounts. Web in the T3 browser panel, iOS on an iPhone simulator (iOS 27), Android on a Pixel 9 emulator (Android 16). On each, I flipped the setting, then opened Usage → Limits, sent /usage-limits in a Claude thread, and checked the widget (iOS widget gallery, Android home screen). After merging current main, I checked the thread details limit rows again on web in both modes ("Monthly: 100% used" with a full bar, "Monthly: 0% left" with an empty one). In "% left" mode everything matches main; in "% used" mode every label, bar, pace tick and hatch counts up as listed above.

vp run check:changed upstream/main passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck of affected packages, 149 tests in 8 files, and the React compiler check. The tests cover the meter, pace and hatch helpers in both directions, the settings default and unknown values, the widget snapshot and settings search.

Not checked: the Electron desktop shell (it runs the same web UI and stores the value through ClientSettingsSchema, covered by the schema test) and the iOS lock screen widget family.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 75203e7

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Adds an optional percent-used display across web, mobile, and widgets while retaining percent-left as the default. This changes presentation, not quota enforcement or actual usage.

Walkthrough

The change adds a “% used” option alongside “% left” in appearance settings. Web and mobile usage meters, pooled limits, thread details, and subscription widgets use the selected mode. Shared calculations, preference persistence, search, tests, and documentation are updated.

Changes: Usage Display Preference

Layer / File(s)Summary
Usage display contract and calculations
packages/contracts/src/settings.ts, packages/contracts/src/settings.test.ts, packages/shared/src/usageLimits.ts, packages/shared/src/usageLimits.test.ts		The settings contract adds UsageDisplay with “left” and “used” values and defaults omitted settings to “left.” Shared helpers calculate display percentages, pace marks, pool values, refill labels, and refill spans. Tests cover the contract and calculations.
Preference persistence and settings controls
apps/mobile/src/persistence/mobile-preferences.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/appearance/*, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/SettingsAppearanceRouteScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/settings-search.ts, apps/mobile/src/features/settings/settings-search.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/AppearanceSettingsPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/SettingsPanels.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.ts		Mobile preference sanitization retains valid display values, and mobile appearance settings expose and persist the preference. Web settings add a selector and default restoration. Web and mobile settings search includes the new option.
Web usage displays
apps/web/src/components/usage/*, apps/web/src/components/chat/ThreadDetailsUsage.tsx		Usage limits, pooled meters, and thread details display percentages, bars, labels, pace marks, and refill information according to the selected mode. Warning and error thresholds continue to use remaining percentage.
Mobile usage displays and widgets
apps/mobile/src/features/usage/*, apps/mobile/src/widgets/SubscriptionUsage*, apps/mobile/src/widgets/subscriptionUsageSnapshot*, docs/user/usage.md		Mobile usage meters and subscription widgets use the selected mode. Widget snapshots include the display mode and used percentage. The documentation describes the setting and affected views.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Explanation

The title "feat(web,mobile): choose whether usage meters count up or down" matches the main change: a new Settings → Appearance option that switches usage limit meters between "% left" (default) and "% used" on web and mobile. It is specific, follows conventional commit form, and does not list files.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is mostly complete against the template. It has a clear motivation and a change summary, covering the setting, the affected surfaces, and the defaults. The scope section explains why this is a focused configuration option for an existing capability, and it states the setting only changes presentation. The verification section gives concrete checks on web, iOS, and Android, lists test counts, and states what was not checked. Before/after screenshots are included. The template's Problem section is not labeled as such, since the motivation is folded into the opening paragraph and the 'Usage limits only count down today' sentence. The template's note about recording the agent model is present at the end. The author's own comments in the objectives indicate a scope and verification gap: quota-meter behavior with real subscription data was not verified by the reviewer, and the Problem section does not give a reproduction or a maintainer-approved issue link. The scope section does not link a triaged issue or approval comment, which the template asks for.

Resolution

Add a link to the triaged issue or discussion with explicit maintainer approval of the direction and scope, including the approval comment. Add a short Problem section that states the expected behavior and the reason for the request. Address the reviewer-reported gap: the quota-meter display with real subscription data was not verified in the reviewer's environment, so either verify it with working quota windows and report the result, or state the limit explicitly.

Add usage terms to the appearance search.

Searching for “usage” does not return Appearance, so users cannot find this preference by its section name. The existing search test confirms that result. (raw.githubusercontent.com) Add “usage limits” to these terms and update the existing test case.

✅ Addressed in commit 4e296a5

Ddavisonio11d ago

Fixed in 4e296a5: Appearance now carries "usage meters" and "usage limits", so a mobile search for "usage" lists Appearance after the Usage tab. The existing usage case in settings-search.test.ts now expects both.

CcoderabbitaiBot11d ago

@davisonio Thanks for fixing this in 4e296a5. The added search terms and updated usage test address the finding.

Updated now that the Context row fills up on its own (#27892):

  • Merged current main and resolved the conflicts in the thread details card, Limits, the mobile pooled view and the usage docs.
  • The setting now covers usage limits only. I dropped the Context row handling, since Context always fills up as it's used. The setting's description, search terms and docs no longer mention context.
  • In "% used" mode, every meter in the thread details card now counts the same way: limits fill as you use them, and so does Context.
  • Rewrote the PR description to match. vp run check:changed upstream/main passes, and I checked the thread details limit rows on web again in both modes.

Verified in a real dev environment

Partial verification at 75e119200417d5435f492e8c61bf50e16d6a2f3e, compared with github/main at 8b44f42b14c8e273156474a924ccf29680dd7857. Ran vp i and one background vp run dev at a time on Linux. Drove the web app with repo Playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome, using isolated state and a project created through the app against a real git repository. Sent real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns, with no mocks or demo data.

  • Main has no Usage meters preference. The PR defaults to % left; selecting % used persists after reload; the row reset restores % left. Settings search for percent used finds the preference.
  • Real provider turns complete in both modes. Changing the preference leaves the existing context meter at 9% used in both modes.
  • /usage-limits opens the inline result, and Usage → Limits opens normally. Both display the provider quota-read failure described below.
  • Blacksmith ran the four existing focused suites for usage calculations, settings contracts, mobile settings search, and widget snapshots: 121 tests passed. The PR status reports 28 successful checks, zero failing or pending. No source changes or pushes.

Main, before:

main appearance without usage meters

Runtime and check transcript

Not verified

Actual quota meter behavior remains unverified. On both main and this head, the Codex proxy on this VM returns Codex could not read usage (JSON-RPC -32600) and provides no quota windows. Real turns work, but that does not establish percentage complements, bar fills, pace ticks, refill hatches/signs, warning colors, or pooled accounts with real subscription data. This is a pre-existing verification blocker, not an established regression in this PR.

Native iOS/Android clients and widgets, Electron shell persistence, other providers, and multi-environment pooling were not exercised. This is not full end-to-end sign-off for the quota presentation change.

Thanks @davisonio for the earlier work and the thorough cross-platform verification. Closing this as a duplicate of #30570 by @mattcookio, which also offers used or remaining usage meters across clients and widgets. This PR currently conflicts with main, while #30570 merges cleanly.
