Forecasting rate limits in claumon
claumon is a dashboard for Claude Code that predicts when you'll hit your usage limits before you actually do. Behind the gauges is a small Bayesian model that simulates how usage can evolve until the window resets, then reads off where it lands and when it would cross a threshold, each with an 80% credible interval.
