⏱️ freshquota - Manage your Claude usage window efficiently

🎯 About this project

Claude imposes a strict five-hour rolling window on your usage. If you hit your limit, you wait. This software tracks your usage patterns and triggers the system at the optimal moment. It works in the background to ensure you stay within your quota limits.

The application runs quietly. It monitors your five-hour window and manages your requests to prevent lockout. You gain better control over your work sessions. You avoid the frustration of sudden usage blocks during important tasks.

⚙️ System requirements

  • Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit).
  • Internet Connection: Active connection to sync with Claude services.
  • Disk Space: 50 MB of free storage.
  • Memory: 4 GB of RAM or higher.

🚀 Installation steps

  1. Visit the official release page to obtain the installer.
  2. Locate the file named freshquota-setup.exe on that page.
  3. Click the link to save the file to your computer.
  4. Open your Downloads folder.
  5. Double-click freshquota-setup.exe to start the installation.
  6. Follow the on-screen prompts.
  7. Click Finish to close the installer.

🛠️ Usage guide

The software starts automatically when you turn on your computer. You see a small icon in your system tray. This tray is the area near your clock on the taskbar.

  1. Right-click the freshquota icon.
  2. Select Settings to enter your Claude API credentials.
  3. Connect your account. The application verifies your quota window immediately.
  4. Minimize the application to your tray.

The monitor keeps track of your usage. It calculates the rolling window for you. If you reach a point where your quota needs a refresh, the application sends a signal to the service to reset your timing.

🛡️ Privacy and security

The software processes local data on your machine. Your API credentials reach the service provider directly. This application does not store your private keys on third-party servers. Your usage statistics stay on your computer. You control your data.

🧩 Troubleshooting

Software does not start Ensure you have the latest Microsoft .NET Runtime installed. Many Windows applications require this framework to function. You can find this on the official Microsoft website.

Connection errors Check your Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. The application requires constant access to the Claude servers to sync your timing window. If you use a VPN, try turning it off to see if the connection stabilizes.

System tray icon disappears Sometimes Windows hides background icons. Click the small arrow on your taskbar to reveal hidden icons. You should find freshquota there.

Updates The application checks for updates once a week. It prompts you to install the newest version when a fix or feature arrives. Accept the update to keep the software running smoothly.

💾 Download link

You may visit the download page to obtain the most recent version of the installer. Always verify that you download the version matching your Windows installation.
