Relative headroom, not an invented percentage
Anthropic confirms the shape of a Claude Code plan's usage ceiling - a rolling five-hour session window plus a separate weekly budget, with Max 5x and Max 20x buying roughly 5x and 20x Pro's room in both - without ever publishing an exact size for either budget, on any plan, Pro included. That's covered in full in Claude Code Pro plan usage limits, explained. A calculator that shows a percent-of-budget number here would have to invent the denominator, so this one asks for a number you actually know instead - roughly how many sessions you get before hitting the wall - and projects that same headroom across the other two tiers using Anthropic's own confirmed multiplier.
The risk factor comes from the two specific habits Claude's support docs name as the fastest ways to burn a session's budget early: skipping /clear between unrelated tasks, and pasting full files into a message instead of pointing Claude at their paths. The full breakdown of why those two matter more than most people expect is in why Claude Code says "usage limit reached".
This is still a projection, not a live reading. For the exact number right now, open /usage inside Claude Code, or see what a session actually costs in dollars with the Claude Code cost calculator. For your real setup waste instead of a modeled pattern, run the free UsageCut scan.

About this projection
Is this my exact usage limit, or an estimate?
An estimate, and an honest one about what it can't know: it models your daily and weekly token burn from a pattern you set, then projects headroom across plans from a number you supply - roughly how many sessions you've gotten before hitting "usage limit reached." For your real, live number, open /usage inside Claude Code or run the free scan below.
Where does the 5x / 20x multiplier come from?
Anthropic's own docs, checked directly against support.claude.com and claude.com/pricing while writing our Pro plan usage limits guide (fetched 2026-08-05): Max 5x gives roughly 5x Pro's room and Max 20x roughly 20x, across both the 5-hour session window and the separate weekly budget. It's the one sizing fact Anthropic actually confirms about plan tiers.
Why doesn't this show a percent of my budget, like the context window calculator does?
Because that number doesn't exist to divide by. Claude Code's context window has a published size (200K or 1M tokens depending on model and plan), so a percent-used figure is real math. The 5-hour and weekly usage budgets don't have a published size on any plan, Pro included - a tool that shows a percentage here would be inventing the denominator. This one projects relative headroom from your own observed baseline instead.
How is the risk factor calculated?
From the two specific habits Claude's own support docs name as budget drains, also covered in our usage-limit-reached guide: not clearing between unrelated tasks, and pasting full files into a message instead of pointing Claude at their paths. Neither checked is Low, one is Medium, both is High - it's a flag for which documented habit to fix first, not a token-precise multiplier.
Questions, answered
Is UsageCut really free?
Yes. The scan and every fix are free - no card, no subscription, no signup. You only give an email if you want the optimization plan and one-command undo sent to your inbox.
Is my code safe? Does UsageCut upload anything?
The scan runs entirely on your machine. It never uploads your code, never reads your API key, and never sends your prompts or conversations anywhere. Only anonymous summary counts leave, and only if you choose to share them.
How does it reduce Claude Code token usage?
It reads your local setup and session history to find waste - idle MCP servers loaded into every session, an oversized CLAUDE.md re-sent on every request, duplicate file reads, and bloated tool output - then trims it losslessly, so each session carries less context and you hit your limit far less often.
