Add usage-limit rings to the /pet avatar overlay
What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
I would like Codex App's /pet avatar overlay to support usage-limit rings directly inside the avatar overlay window.
The rings could show:
- a primary short-window usage limit, such as the 5h limit
- a secondary longer-window usage limit, such as the weekly limit
Because the rings would be part of the same /pet overlay, they would move, drag, hide, clamp, and resize together with the pet. This would also make the behavior more reliable for custom pets.
Useful options could include:
- enable/disable usage rings
- show rings always or only on hover
- customize ring colors and opacity
- show hover text such as
5h 72%andweekly 41%

A separate external overlay can draw similar rings, but it is structurally limited because the pet and rings are separate windows. That makes drag synchronization, z-order, and display changes harder to keep reliable.
Drawing the rings inside the existing /pet avatar overlay would make the feature feel native and avoid fragile companion-window synchronization.
