# Checking Usage

> Read your plan, remaining allowance, and reset time from the status card, in a chat or from the terminal.

Your usage lives on the **status card**, the live view of your plan and remaining allowance. Check it whenever you want to confirm what plan you are on or how much of the free allowance is left.

## From a Chat

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Claude Code">
    ```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["typescript","python","curl"]}}
    /nito:status
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Codex">
    ```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["typescript","python","curl"]}}
    $nito:status
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

The card shows your signed-in profile, which environment you are pointed at, how you authenticated, your plan, and your usage, including any allowance notice.

## What the Card Tells You

* **Plan:** which one you are on (Free, Plus, Advanced, or Max).
* **Free allowance:** on the free plan, the card shows your monthly limit, how many requests you have left, and the UTC reset time.
* **Connection:** the profile and environment you are connected as, which doubles as a quick confirmation that the plugin is working.

<Note>
  The remaining count and reset time are read live, so the status card is the source of truth for your allowance, not any number cached anywhere else. See [Free Usage](/plans/free-usage) for how the allowance works.
</Note>

## From the Terminal

You can also check from your shell:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["typescript","python","curl"]}}
nito agent status
```

This reports the active profile and connectivity. For a full check that also confirms a request reaches a model, run [`nito doctor`](/cli/doctor-and-update).

## When You Are Close to the Limit

The plugin shows you an allowance notice as you approach and reach the limit, rather than letting a command fail without explanation. When you run out, commands that call a model pause until the monthly reset or until you upgrade. See [What Paid Unlocks](/plans/what-paid-unlocks) to keep working immediately.
