Per-provider quota / rate-limit status via /quota command and desktop widget. Reads precomputed quota_cache.json so the widget never does network I/O.

## Good to know before installing

Refreshes your Gemini OAuth token using the Gemini CLI's public client identity, in memory only; queries Copilot's internal usage endpoint with VS Code client headers and Anthropic's OAuth usage endpoint using the hermes-quota-plugin User-Agent, caching Anthropic usage responses and rate-limit cooldowns in the Hermes root directory keyed by a token hash so profiles sharing one Claude login share them; optional additional Claude accounts read access tokens only from explicitly configured Claude Code credentials files and send them only to Anthropic's fixed OAuth usage endpoint (read-only, no refresh-token exchange or credential write-back; tokens and paths excluded from the quota cache). Linux extra accounts verified; Windows experimental, extra macOS Keychain accounts unsupported. The openai-codex check reads every saved Codex account from Hermes' own auth.json credential pool (read-only, never refreshed; expired accounts show reauth-required) and queries the Codex usage endpoint with the codex-cli User-Agent; when a Codex account is configured, each refresh also fetches public Codex reset announcements from the third-party site codex-resets.com (anonymous request, no credentials s

## 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 quota
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable quota
```

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
