Fuel Gauge is a Claude Code plugin that reads rate-limit headers from API responses to display remaining 5-hour and weekly usage windows, injecting a one-line usage note into every prompt and enforcing a hard stop at 95%. It is interesting because it gives the model awareness of its own consumption limits without extra API calls, preventing mid-task cutoffs and enabling cost-aware pacing.
