Claude Opus 4.6 comes with 1M context, but you can't see by default how much you've used or how much is left. My previous clumsy workaround was to check the 😂 backend dashboard on the web.

Now I found that adding one line `statusLine` in settings.json displays real-time at the bottom: model version, context usage, git branch, session duration, and 7-day quota percentage.

Super useful when running multiple windows in parallel—one glance shows all statuses. Couldn't be more convenient!
