Features
- Status bar (bottom-right): live 5-hour and weekly used %, color-coded (green / yellow / red), with reset countdowns on hover. The
$(clock) 2h 14mcountdown is opt-in — toggle it on once and it stays on across restarts. - Detail dashboard: big usage bars per model, reset countdowns, interactive history chart of usage over time. Hover for a crosshair + tooltip showing per-model
used %at that timestamp. - Interactive charts:
- Time-range chips:
1h / 6h / 24h / 3d / 7d / All. Chips with no data are auto-disabled; picking an empty range shows a "Show <suggested range>" shortcut. - Hover tooltip: crosshair line + floating panel with timestamp + per-model percentage.
- Time-range chips:
- Persistent history: chart samples survive VS Code restarts (mirrored to
globalState, debounced 5 s, flushed on shutdown). At the default 100-sample limit, worst-case on-disk size is ~5 KB. Safe to run with multiple VS Code windows against the same workspace. - Command palette:
MiniMax Usage: Set API Key,Refresh Now,Open Usage Dashboard,Open Billing Page,Toggle Countdown in Status Bar,Clear History,Clear API Key. - Private by design: API key in OS keychain (
SecretStorage); no telemetry, no analytics, zero runtime npm dependencies.
Installation
- Install the MiniMax Usage extension from the VS Code Marketplace (search "MiniMax Usage" or run
ext install Hukilow.minimax-usage). - Open the Command Palette (
Ctrl+Shift+P/Cmd+Shift+P). - Run
MiniMax Usage: Set API Keyand paste your Subscription Key from Billing → Token Plan. - The status bar should populate within a few seconds.
A Subscription Key is the Team-level key issued when you subscribe to MiniMax Token Plan. It is not the same as a pay-as-you-go Open Platform API key.

Privacy
- Reads your Token Plan usage (one outbound HTTPS call to
api.minimax.io). - Never writes to your MiniMax account, never calls LLM APIs, never sends data anywhere else.
- API key is stored locally in your OS keychain via VS Code's
SecretStorageAPI. - No telemetry, no analytics, no error reporting service.
- Zero runtime npm dependencies (CVE surface = 0).
- See SECURITY.md for how to report vulnerabilities.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full guide, and PLAN.md for the architecture rationale.
