Tracking Copilot Usage Without an API (Raycast + Month Progress)

GitHub Copilot shows usage only in the UI. No API, no programmatic access, just a bar chart buried in settings. Easy to burn through your monthly quota by day 13 when you can't quickly check where you stand. I needed a fast, low-friction way to sanity-check my usage without opening browsers or scraping brittle HTML. Here's how I solved it with Raycast Script Commands and a mental model based on calendar progress. The Problem GitHub Copilot's limitations: Usage data lives only in the UI at github.com/settings/copilot/features No public API for remaining credits or usage percentage Easy to burn quota early in the month without realizing it Checking requires: open browser → navigate to settings → find Copilot → read chart What I needed: Fast feedback (1-2 keystrokes) Zero maintenance (no scraping, no auth tokens) Mental model: "I'm 42% through the month → usage bar should roughly match" Solution: Raycast Script Commands Raycast is a macOS launcher (like Spotlight or Alfred).
