Usage Monitor
For AI services with daily usage limits, Ophel provides a local counter to help you track how many turns you've used today and roughly how many tokens were consumed.
How It Works
The usage monitor runs entirely locally. It doesn't call any external APIs and doesn't rely on usage data from the platform — Ophel counts and estimates by observing messages on the page.
The counter is displayed near the input field on supported sites and shows:
- Number of conversation turns today (messages sent)
- Estimated input token count
- Estimated output token count
- A progress bar showing used / daily limit (optional)
Token estimates are based on simple character counting and may differ from the platform's actual billing. Treat them as a rough reference only.
Enabling the Monitor
Settings → Features → Usage Monitor:
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Enable | Show the usage monitor widget | Off |
| Daily limit | Your expected daily usage cap (used to calculate the progress bar) | 100 |
| Auto reset | Automatically reset the count at midnight | Off |
Use Cases
- Subscription plans with quotas, such as Gemini Advanced
- Situations where you're distributing usage across multiple accounts
- Getting a rough picture of your AI usage habits
The usage monitor is a reference tool only. It cannot prevent you from exceeding a platform's limit, and does not represent the platform's actual billing or quota consumption.
