VSCode MiniMax Usage

Display your MiniMax Token Plan usage percentage directly in the VS Code status bar

Why this extension?

Most existing VS Code extensions for AI usage tracking don't support MiniMax's token plan API. This extension fills that gap by directly calling https://www.minimax.io/v1/token_plan/remains to show your real-time usage in the status bar.

Features

• Shows token quota usage (e.g. 45% (2h30m)) or remaining tokens (e.g. 55% (2h30m)) in the status bar
• Displays time remaining until quota resets when available
• Automatically refreshes at a configurable interval
• Secure API key storage via VS Code Secret Storage

Status bar examples:

Situation	Display
Authenticated, usage available	⚡ MiniMax 45% (2h30m)
Authenticated, no reset time	⚡ MiniMax 45%
Authenticated, remaining mode	⚡ MiniMax 55% (2h30m)
API key not set	🔑 MiniMax: Set API Key
Error / fetch failed	⚠️ MiniMax: Error

Setup

1. Get your Token Plan Key from the MiniMax Platform
2. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P)
3. Run MiniMax Usage: Set API Key and paste your token
4. The status bar will update immediately
