cc-hotswap
Hotswap between multiple Claude Code Max plan accounts to extend weekly usage limits.
Commands
Check current account
~/.claude/accounts/swap.sh
Hotswap to a specific account
~/.claude/accounts/swap.sh <account-name>
Check real usage (all accounts)
~/.claude/accounts/swap.sh usage
Shows weekly, session, and Sonnet usage percentages with visual bars. Requires valid session cookies.
Run one-shot cookie refresh
~/.claude/accounts/swap.sh refresh
Runs the Playwright refresh script to grab fresh session cookies. The persistent daemon handles this automatically, so refresh is only needed for manual one-off refreshes.
Save a session cookie for usage checking
~/.claude/accounts/swap.sh set-cookie <account-name> <session-key>
Manual fallback — paste a session key from browser DevTools. Not normally needed when the daemon is running.
Add a new account (saves current login)
~/.claude/accounts/swap.sh add <account-name>
Remove an account
~/.claude/accounts/swap.sh remove <account-name>
Rotation Strategy
- Start each cycle on your biggest plan (most usage headroom)
- Run
swap.sh usage to check utilization across accounts
