Crustat

Troubleshooting

Common messages, and how to clear them.

“Sign in to Claude Code to see limits.”
You’re not signed into Claude Code with a Claude subscription. Open Claude Code and log in. (If you use an API key, Amazon Bedrock, or Google Vertex, the limits feature isn’t available — but the rest of Crustat still works.)
“Token expired — open Claude Code to refresh.”
Your Claude Code login has expired. Just open Claude Code; it refreshes the login automatically, and Crustat picks it up on the next refresh (or click Refresh in the gear menu).
The menu-bar percentage is blank.
The percentage is part of the rate-limits feature — it appears once you’re signed into Claude Code. Token-usage stats inside the popover work regardless.
I clicked “Deny” on the keychain prompt by mistake.
Open Keychain Access, search “Claude Code-credentials”, double-click it → Access Control tab, and either add Crustat to the allowed apps or choose “Allow all applications.” Then reopen Crustat.
“Couldn’t load limits (…).”
A temporary network or API issue. Crustat keeps showing your last-known limits and retries automatically.
