Guides

Practical, no-fluff guides for people who run Claude Code and Codex hard — how the limits work, how to watch them, and how to pool more than one subscription into a single stream of capacity.

Usage limits

How to check your Claude Code usage limits

Three ways to see how much capacity you have left — the /usage command, the claude.ai settings page, and a menu bar monitor — plus how the 5-hour and weekly windows actually work, and what happens when you hit one.

Power setup

Pool your Claude and Codex subscriptions behind a CLI proxy

Turn two, four, or six subscriptions into one pool: install a local proxy, sign every account into it, point your CLIs at localhost, and weight the routing by how much each account actually has left — with ModelDeck showing usage and routing weight side by side.
