Mr. Usage › Context7

Check your Context7 requests left this month

Mr. Usage reads Context7's documented usage endpoint with your own key and keeps a card refreshed on its own. Main number: requests left this month, out of the plan's included requests. Details: the plan name, when usage resets, requests made this month, and on paid plans the extra requests and their cost against the spending limit.

What the Context7 card shows

Main number: requests left this month, out of the plan's included requests. Details: the plan name, when usage resets, requests made this month, and on paid plans the extra requests and their cost against the spending limit. A yellow "Low" badge appears under 20% left and a red "Nearly out" badge under 5%, with a line of today's readings underneath.

On pay-as-you-go plans nothing is included, so the card shows the month's request count and cost instead of a countdown.

Questions

Does checking my Context7 usage cost credits?

Context7 documents the call as free: it does not count as a request.

Where does my Context7 API key go?

Into your operating system's credential store, under the service name mr-usage: Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, the Secret Service on Linux. The app reads it at the moment it calls the vendor, wraps it in a zeroizing type, and drops it. It is never written to a file of the app's own and never sent back to the window.

How often is the card refreshed?

Every 5 minutes by default. Settings lets you pick anything from 1 minute to 24 hours, and changing the interval takes effect from the last poll. There is also a Refresh button on each card, limited to once a minute.
