To compare several Claude accounts, collect each account's current usage, the time each limit resets, and its renewal date, then put all of them into one consistent format. Connections Usage can show linked Claude accounts side by side as cards, a table, or a comparison chart ^[1].

What you need before you start

Before you compare anything, gather access to every Claude account that needs review. Write down each account's name or label, the subscription it is on, and the date its renewal falls.

Decide which limits matter for your daily development work. Session limits and single-model limits often differ, so decide in advance which ones you will watch. A limit you never check is not worth recording.

Keep one set of notes for all accounts so the same questions are asked of each one. If several people or projects use separate accounts, label each account by its owner or project so that the notes do not get mixed up later.

Check where each piece of information comes from. Some figures come from the account itself, and others come from a tool that gathers account details. The two may not show the same thing at the same moment, so note the source next to each figure.

Finally, write down the date of the comparison. Limits and reset times can change, and a dated note makes it clear when the figures were true. With these things ready, the comparison becomes a matter of filling in the same boxes for every account.

Step by step

List every Claude account that needs review. Give each one a short label, such as a project name or the name of the person who uses it.

For each account, write down the type of limit being tracked, how much of it has been used, and when it resets. If the reset time is not visible to you, note that gap instead of guessing at it.

Record the renewal date and the monthly cost for each account in the same place. Keep these apart from the usage columns so that a renewal date is not read as a usage figure.

Put every account into the same format. A table with one row per account and one column per limit type makes it easy to see which accounts have the most room left for the work ahead. Use the same units and the same names for each limit so that the rows can be compared directly.

Compare accounts before you switch between them. Look at current availability first, then the reset timing, and then the renewal dates that affect planning for the coming weeks. Prefer the account whose limit resets sooner, because it will have room again sooner.

Repeat the comparison on a regular schedule, because usage changes as work continues. Note the date of each check so that older figures are not mixed with newer ones.

Decide where the figures will be kept, and use the same place at every check.

Tools that can do it

A spreadsheet can hold account names, limit types, reset times, and renewal dates in one place.

A manual document holds the figures that are copied in by hand at each check. Each figure in either option is only as current as the last time someone typed it in, so the date of each entry matters.

Connections Usage is made by the team that publishes this site. You link a Claude account by clicking 'Log in with Claude' and signing in. ^[1] Once an account is linked, it shows how much of its 5-hour session limit has been used. ^[1] It also shows the weekly limit for a single model, labeled with that model's name. ^[1] Each limit shows the exact clock time the window resets. ^[1]

When two or more Claude accounts are linked, you can view them as cards, as a table, or as a comparison chart. ^[1] With two or more accounts, it suggests the usable account with the most free quota left. ^[1] On each account's page you can enter its plan, monthly price, and renewal date. ^[1] A Cost page adds up the monthly prices you entered for your accounts. ^[1] The overview lists accounts with the soonest renewal first. ^[1]

It is a website, so it works on any device and there is nothing to install. ^[1] Choose between a spreadsheet, a manual document, and Connections Usage by how many accounts you compare and how often you need the figures refreshed.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoid comparing accounts that use different labels or different ideas of what a limit measures. Make sure each row describes the same kind of usage before drawing conclusions.

Do not rely on old notes once limits or reset times may have changed. An account that had the most room left last week may not have it today, since usage moves as work continues.

Recording only how much of a limit has been used, without noting when it resets, leaves out the detail most needed for planning. Keep renewal dates apart from usage figures so the two are not confused.

Revisit your method when the number of accounts grows or when the way information is gathered changes. A method that worked for a few accounts may become hard to read for many accounts.

Frequently asked questions

How can developers compare limits across several Claude accounts?

Developers can compare limits by writing down each Claude account's label, the type of limit being tracked, how much of it has been used, and when it resets. Renewal dates go in a separate column. Keeping every account in the same format makes it easier to see which one has the most room left for the work ahead. Recheck the figures before a decision, because usage changes as work continues.

What should be tracked when using several Claude subscriptions?

Track the account label, the limit type, current usage, reset timing, and renewal details when they are available. Keeping usage and renewal information apart helps you tell a temporary limit from a subscription date. Note the date of each check as well, so older figures are not mistaken for current ones. A short, consistent set of columns is usually easier to keep up to date than a long one.

Can Connections Usage show several Claude accounts together?

Yes. If two or more Claude accounts are linked, Connections Usage lets you view them as cards, as a table, or as a comparison chart. ^[1] Each linked account shows how much of its 5-hour session limit has been used, and each limit shows the exact clock time it resets. ^[1] ^[1] With two or more accounts, it also suggests the usable account with the most free quota left. ^[1]

How do you start linking a Claude account to Connections Usage?

You click 'Log in with Claude', approve in the Claude tab, copy and paste back the code, and click Finish. ^[1] Each Claude account is linked this way, by signing in. ^[1] Repeat the steps for each account you want to compare. Keeping the labels consistent makes the linked accounts easier to tell apart in the cards, table, or chart.

How often should several Claude accounts be reviewed?

Review accounts on a regular schedule, because usage and renewal details change. Connections Usage refreshes usage numbers every hour in the background. ^[1] You can also enter each account's plan, monthly price, and renewal date on its page. ^[1] The Cost page adds up the monthly prices you entered, and the overview lists accounts with the soonest renewal first. ^[1] ^[1]

There is a plan named Connections Free. ^[1] On the free plan you can link one Claude account. ^[1]
