VSCode z.ai Usage

Display your z.ai token usage percentage directly in the VS Code status bar

Features

• Shows token quota usage (e.g. 45% (2h30m)) in the status bar
• Displays time remaining until quota resets when available
• Automatically refreshes at a configurable interval
• Secure API key storage via VS Code Secret Storage

Status bar examples:

Situation	Display
Authenticated, usage available	⬡ 45% (2h30m)
Authenticated, no reset time	⬡ 45%
API key not set	⬡ Set API Key
Error / fetch failed	⬡ -

The ⬡ icon is the z.ai icon. Set zaiUsage.useIcon: false to display z.ai: as a text prefix instead.

Setup

1. Get your API token from the z.ai API Key page
2. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P)
3. Run z.ai Usage: Set API Key and paste your token
4. The status bar will update immediately
