Brief

Hesamation highlights that API usage limits are so restrictive people are building physical dashboards. They point to Hermann Björgvin’s hardware monitor for Anthropic's Claude that displays rate-limit/token usage and grows more "psyched" with higher token consumption, credits @amaanbuilds for animations, and links to the GitHub repo, urging Anthropic to include one per subscription.

Source evidence

Usage limits are so bad that people are making physical dashboards for them. Anthropic should send one of these with every subscription they sell.

Hermann Björgvin (@HermannBjorgvin)

Built a physical dashboard which tracks my Claude rate limit and gets more psyched the more tokens you use.

Animations taken from @amaanbuilds, much appreciated!
