QuotaSentinel

Get alerted before your AI coding tool runs out of quota and pinpoint token waste

Problem

Users pay for time-based quota AI coding tools like Kilo Code, but often exhaust their 5-hour quota within minutes without knowing where tokens went (e.g., background agents burning 360k tokens). Official dashboards lack granularity, leaving users unable to predict exhaustion or optimize usage.

Solution

Read session logs from official CLI or API to analyze token consumption rate in real time, predict remaining time, and alert before quota runs out; generate reports highlighting abnormal consumption sources such as background agents and repeated inputs, helping users adjust workflows.

Users

Developers using time-based quota AI coding tools (e.g., Kilo Code, Cursor), especially heavy users and teams.

MVP

Parse session log files from common CLIs to compute burn rate; trigger desktop notifications when thresholds are hit; generate a per-session consumption summary (input/output/cached token ratios, most token-heavy tasks); allow manual task tagging for cost comparison.

Revenue

Free tier supports single tool and basic alerts; paid subscription ($5/month) adds multi-tool support, historical trend analysis, and team dashboards.

Why now

Time-based quota billing is gaining traction among AI coding tools, users strongly demand quota transparency, and existing tools lack granular monitoring; indie developers can quickly integrate log formats.
