Claude Usage Analysis & Dual Account Strategy
Analysis of current Claude Max usage showing A$325 extra spend, with refined dual-account recommendations
Output
📊 Current Usage Analysis
⚠️ Your Current Situation
| Weekly Quota (All Models) | 100% EXHAUSTED |
| Resets in | ~14 hours |
| Sonnet-only quota | 1% used (resets Sat 11 AM) |
| Extra Usage Spent | A$325.27 |
| Monthly Limit | A$1,000 |
| Current Balance | A$24.72 |
| Extra Usage % | 33% of limit |
💡 Key Insight
You've burned through A$325 in extra usage this month (it's Jan 8th!). At this rate, you'd hit A$1,000+ before Feb 1 reset. Your Sonnet-only quota is almost untouched (1%) - that's a separate pool you could leverage.
🎯 Refined Dual-Account Strategy
Given the screenshots, here's a smarter approach:
Account 1: Max (Current)
- Keep for heavy Opus 4.5 work (complex coding)
- Use Sonnet quota! You have 99% left until Saturday
- Consider lowering extra-usage limit to A$500 to cap burn rate
Account 2: Pro (New)
- A$20/month flat - no overage risk
- Use for Quick Turn, light tasks, overflow
- Separate weekly quota = buffer when Max hits limit
🛠️ Konui Implementation
For the ~14 hours until your Max resets, and for ongoing dual-account use:
| Feature | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Account Selector | Dropdown in status bar: [Max] [Pro] |
| Model Selector | Add Sonnet option alongside Opus |
| Quick Turn Routing | Always use Pro account (cheap, fast) |
| Usage Display | Show quota % in navbar from StatusLine |
⏱️ Immediate Options (Next 14 Hours)
- Use Sonnet on Max account - You have 99% Sonnet quota remaining. Switch to Sonnet model for lighter tasks.
- Wait for quota reset - 14 hours until weekly limit refreshes
- Top up A$24.72 balance - Continue with extra usage (but expensive)
- Create Pro account now - Immediate access to separate quota pool
💰 Cost Projection
| Scenario | Monthly Cost (AUD) |
|---|---|
| Current path (Max + heavy extra) | ~A$200-400/mo + A$100 sub |
| Max + Pro (smart routing) | ~A$120/mo (both subs) |
| Savings potential | A$100-300/mo |
