Status-bar quota tracking for 17 providers: Tavily, OpenCode Go, DeepSeek, GLM (z.ai), OpenRouter, Grok (xAI), Codex (OpenAI), OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Cerebras, Moonshot Kimi, MiniMax, Google Gemini, Hugging Face, Mistral, and Qwen. DeepSeek and GLM show peak/off-peak gauges and countdowns. Includes OAuth and multi-key pools. This edition does not rotate Hermes environment keys on exhaust, and an expired OAuth token asks for a new login. Codex and Grok checks use their CLI client identity and user-agent.

## Good to know before installing

Reads provider API keys from the Hermes .env and its own config.json and calls each enabled provider's own usage or billing endpoint; Codex and Grok sign-ins use those CLIs' OAuth client identity and user-agent, keep the plugin's tokens in its install folder, and ask for a new login on expiry. When the Discord gateway runs, the bot's Discord presence (visible to everyone in servers the bot shares) is updated every 20 seconds by default with tokens/sec, context-window use and the active provider's name with its remaining quota or dollar credit balance (model and running tool are opt-in); turn it off with plugins.entries.provider-status.settings.discord_presence_enabled: false. /pulse and the agent_pulse tool report process-wide telemetry (model, provider, current tool, quota) to anyone allowed to call them on a gateway. Writes a secret-free quota-cache.json into its install folder and reads Hermes config.yaml for the active model.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install provider-status
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable provider-status
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
