| description | Check AI usage across Anthropic and other providers.
Use when:
1. User asks about AI usage, token usage, or quota
2. User says "what's my AI usage" or "how much have I used"
3. User asks about Anthropic/Claude usage or limits
4. User asks about costs or spending on AI
5. Monitoring usage during heartbeats (daily check) |
AI Usage Check
Quick Start
python3 scripts/usage_check.py
python3 scripts/usage_check.py --json
Requirements
- Python 3.10+ (no pip dependencies — stdlib only)
- Claude Code installed and authenticated (
claude CLI in PATH) — for Anthropic quota
- OpenClaw installed — for session log token/cost stats
What It Shows
Anthropic (real quota from OAuth API):
- Weekly utilization % with reset countdown
- 5-hour rolling window %
- Model-specific weekly (Sonnet, Opus) when available
- Extra usage spend vs monthly limit
Other Providers (from OpenClaw session logs):
- Token counts and call counts per model
- Auto-detects any provider OpenClaw routes through (Ollama, OpenAI, etc.)
OpenClaw Anthropic breakdown:
- Per-model token counts and equivalent API cost
How It Works
- Anthropic quota:
GET https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage using Claude Code's OAuth token from ~/.claude/.credentials.json (requires user:profile scope)
- Token auto-refresh: If the token is expired, the script automatically refreshes it by invoking
claude --print -p "ok" (Claude Code refreshes its own OAuth token on any invocation), then re-reads the updated credentials file. If Claude Code isn't installed, Anthropic quota is skipped gracefully.
- Session stats: Parses
~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/*.jsonl for per-provider/model token and cost data
Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|
OPENCLAW_SESSIONS_DIR | ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions | OpenClaw session log directory |
CLAUDE_CREDENTIALS_PATH | ~/.claude/.credentials.json | Claude Code credentials file |
Tips
- Run via Haiku or a lightweight model for heartbeat/background checks — the script just needs to execute, no reasoning required
- Use
--json for programmatic consumption (cron jobs, dashboards, alerts)
- Works with any Anthropic subscription tier (Pro, Max, Team, etc.)
