Quick answer
WakaTime's AI dashboard measures how much of your code AI wrote, plus cost and tokens, through editor plugins and a cloud account. UsageAtlas measures your plan: five-hour and weekly limits, resets, and token history, with no account needed. They answer different questions and work fine together.

Questions, answered
Does WakaTime show my Claude plan limit?
No. It tracks AI coding activity and cost, not the remaining limit on your Claude or Codex plan.
Can I use WakaTime and UsageAtlas together?
Yes. They read different data and do not interfere.
Which one tells me when my limit resets?
UsageAtlas. It shows the reset time for each window your tools report.
