Predicts whether your AI coding subscription quota lasts until reset

Problem: AI coding subscription users often run out mid-cycle without knowing how long their quota will last at current pace. Someone built Pacer to answer exactly this, showing quota anxiety is a real recurring pain.
Solution: Via browser extension or simple CLI, reads usage data from major AI coding services, forecasts remaining days at current burn rate, alerts when you'll run out early, and suggests switching to cheaper models.
Users: Developers on Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar subscriptions
MVP: Import usage from 2-3 major services; compute daily burn rate from past 7 days; forecast days remaining; browser notification alerts; suggest switching to cheaper models
Revenue: Free basic tier plus $3/mo for multi-service aggregation and team dashboard
Why now: AI coding subscription prices and quotas change frequently, fueling strong quota management demand; usage APIs are opening up, letting solo devs integrate fast
