Features
Your real plan meter
Helicon reads the usage Muse Code itself reports and shows the 5 hour rolling window and the weekly cap in the sidebar and on the usage page. It is the same number the CLI has, surfaced where you can see it before a long run rather than after a refusal.

Why it is in the sidebar
Hitting a cap halfway through a long refactor is the worst time to learn about it. Putting the meter next to the thread list means the information is present when you are deciding whether to start something big.
What is shown
- The 5 hour rolling window, as Muse Code reports it.
- The weekly cap, as Muse Code reports it.
- Both again on the usage page, next to cost at API rates.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Helicon's estimate of my limit?
No. It is the value the Muse Code CLI reports over the protocol, displayed unchanged.
Does it work on every plan?
It shows whatever Muse Code reports for your plan. Where the CLI reports nothing, the meter is empty rather than guessed.
Where do I see it?
In the sidebar during normal work, and in detail on the usage page alongside cost at API rates.

- Cost at API ratesSee what every Muse Code thread would have cost at published per token rates, broken down by day, by model and by thread. A meter reading on your subscription, not a bill.
- Session history and resumeEvery Muse Code session, grouped by project, with full history and one click resume. Sessions started in the muse terminal TUI are discovered and resumable too.
- Inline diffsEvery file the agent edits lands as a diff at the point in the conversation where it happened, with the touched file open in a viewer beside the thread.
- ApprovalsEvery approval Muse Code raises appears in Helicon the moment it arrives. onRequest, promptUnmatched and denyUnmatched are mapped one to one, and allow all is an explicit opt in.
- Projects and worktreesHelicon groups every Muse Code thread under the directory the agent worked in, isolated git worktrees included, so parallel work across repositories has one place to live.
- Keyboard and paletteA command palette, slash commands and a model and reasoning effort picker. Every project, session and action in Helicon is reachable without the mouse.
