Hear it first
Resets get announced on X at random hours. By the time your group chat notices, half the window is gone. We watch the sources around the clock and message you the moment one lands.
If you pay $200 a month for the tool, $9.9 to never miss a refill pays for itself the first time.

What counts against the window
- Does thinking count against the limit?
- Yes. Thinking tokens are billed like output tokens.
- Do subagents count?
- Yes, every subagent call bills the parent account.
- Does prompt caching reduce usage?
- Cached reads are cheaper but still count.
- Does web search count?
- The search itself is usually free; reading results is not.

- Usually the bar refills but the window clock keeps running.
- How is the weekly limit calculated?

- When does the 5-hour window start?
- At your first message after the previous window closed.

- Yes. One account, one set of bars.
