What the status bar shows

Full reference for every segment cs can render. Most are on by default; the opt-in ones are noted. Toggle any of them from the configuration reference or cs config set <key> <value>.

Segment	Meaning
5h[27%]	5-hour rate-limit usage (rolling window from Anthropic API headers)
⟳ 5h/7d stale·restart	Shown (in place of the two bars) when the cached 5h/7d data has gone stale because cs stopped receiving fresh ticks — usually another tool displaced the statusLine, or the daemon died. Restart Claude Code to refresh; if it keeps happening, run cs --setup to reclaim the statusLine. cs doctor explains it in detail.
⏰1h28m	Time until the 5-hour window resets
7d[79%]	7-day rate-limit usage
⏰11h28m	Time until the 7-day window resets
→42% / →88%	Projected end-of-window usage at your current rhythm (show_projection, on by default). Muted < 80%, yellow ≥ 80%, red ≥ 100%. The 5h model blends recent pace + whole-window average + a local baseline; the 7d model integrates learned day/night/weekend buckets so a busy first day isn't extrapolated across the week.
⚠~18m	At-risk warning chip — only when a window is projected to hit 100% and the cap is imminent (≤ 1 h). Separate from the projection (show_forecast, on by default).
Opus 4.8(350.0k/1.0M)	Model name + current context window usage
cache 4m23s / cache COLD	Countdown to prompt-cache expiry — the TTL (5min vs 1h) is auto-detected from the transcript, so it's right on a subscription (1h) or an API key (5min). Green when comfortable, yellow under 1min, red on COLD. Cache hits consume ~10× less rate-limit quota — for subscribers, letting it go COLD eats your 5h / 7d windows ~10× faster. Enabled by default; disable with cs config set show_cache_age false. See How the cache countdown works.
$ 1.42	Session cost in USD as Claude Code reports it. For Pro/Max subscribers this is the API-equivalent value of your usage (i.e. what it would cost on the API), not money owed. Useful as an ROI signal. Opt-in: cs config set show_cost true
bal[████ 52%] \$26.00	Relay account balance — only in no-quota mode (third-party relay / API key). Auto-detected: a background probe queries the relay's OpenAI-compatible billing endpoint (/dashboard/billing/subscription + /usage, the new-api / one-api de-facto standard) using your key, computes hard_limit − used, and caches it 5 min. Renders as a fuel-gauge battery (fill = remaining; green full → yellow ≤25% → red ≤10%) with the remaining amount trailing; falls back to plain bal \$809.97 when the relay reports no usable limit. Shown when the relay exposes that endpoint, silently hidden when it doesn't — zero config. cs config set balance_bar false for plain text; cs config set show_balance false to disable entirely.
⤷ <project> ⎇ <branch>●↑2↓1 · +182 -47 · ⏱ 12m	Second-line identity + session line. Project comes from Claude Code's workspace.repo.name (cwd-basename fallback); branch reads .git/HEAD directly; the ● dirty marker is refreshed by a background helper, cached 5 s. Enabled by default — turn off with cs config set show_project_branch false. +added -removed session lines (show_lines, +green/−red) also show by default. Opt-in extras live here too: ↑2↓1 commits ahead/behind upstream (show_ahead_behind, reuses the dirty-state git status — no extra spawn) and session ⏱ duration (show_duration).
▸ <task> (3/7) · ◐ Edit auth.py · ✓ Read×3	Third "activity" line — what's happening right now, parsed from the transcript: the in-progress todo + done/total (show_todos, on by default), the active tool (◐, show_tools), and an optional completed-tool rollup (✓ name×N, show_tool_rollup, default off). Omitted entirely when nothing is active.
◐ explore[haiku] <task> 2m15s	Bottom line(s) — one per running subagent (show_agents, opt-in, default off). Note: Claude Code already shows background agents in its own native panel, so this largely duplicates that; off by default for that reason.
⚙ effort:high · think:on · fast:off · style:default	Session-mode line (show_mode, on by default) — how this turn is configured, from stdin. Tinted with a per-effort static gradient (mode_gradient) so the level reads at a glance.
#agentparty · ⬡ xdream-agent · ◉ serving · 3 unread + ↳ ●@ bob shipped the auth patch 2m	AgentParty block (show_party, on by default). Local bridge for Codex + AgentParty workflows: reads the workspace status cache and, when several sessions share a project, the identity field from the config path used by that session's actual shell commands. It never calls AgentParty or makes network requests; config tokens are never rendered, logged, or transmitted. The header answers am I listening outright — ◉ watching/serving (green), ⊘ listener down (red), ◌ not listening (grey). The last message gets its own line, prefixed ● unread / ○ read and @ when it mentions you. See AgentParty bridge.
