Can you say more about your feature request? What do you mean by "usage telemetry"? Perhaps you can describe the use case?
By "usage telemetry", I mean % usage for the 5-hour session and weekly limits, plus reset times.
We had it near the message box in the chat before
Thanks.

I meant rate limit indicators. My bad.

It's back. Thanks!
I'd prefer it with no dropdown, though.
If you could arrange that, I would be very thankful.
Agreed to this. This is common sense for managing usage. Why was it dropped in the first place?
