Useful Fields for Account Selector
- rateLimitTier - Shows
max_20xvsmax_5x- display in UI - expiresAt - Token expiry timestamp - warn if expired/expiring
- subscriptionType - Validate it's
max(notfreeorpro)
Implementation Ideas
1. Account Status Check on Session Start
When starting a session or switching accounts, read credentials and validate:
- Token not expired (
expiresAt > Date.now()) - Subscription is
max - Display rate tier in session info
2. Account Selector Enhancement
Show real account info in the selector dropdown:
┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ ● max20x 20x rate 7h left │ │ ○ max5x 5x rate 14h left │ └───────────────────────────────┘
3. Expiry Warning System
Alert when token is expiring soon or expired:
- ⚠️ <1 hour: "Token expiring soon"
- ❌ Expired: "Token expired - re-authenticate"
4. API Endpoint for Account Info
Add GET /api/accounts to konsole that reads credentials and returns:
{
"accounts": [
{
"name": "max20x",
"rateTier": "20x",
"expiresAt": 1767824408000,
"expiresIn": "7h 23m",
"valid": true
},
...
],
"current": "max20x"
}
Security Note: Never expose access/refresh tokens to the UI - only derived info (tier, expiry, validity).
