Technical notes
- The
anthropic-ratelimit-unified-*headers are unofficial — discovered through reverse engineering of Claude Code's OAuth protocol. They may change or disappear without notice. Reference: claude-rate-monitor - Your OAuth token never leaves your machine and is never exposed to the extension UI
