Two clocks, easy to mix up
Kimi Code gives you a rolling 5-hour session window and a longer weekly window. The website also shows a Total usage bar. That total is a monthly membership credit pool for white Kimi chat plus blue Code. It is not the same meter as Session and Weekly.
If you only check the website when you are already worried, you are usually looking at the wrong clock, or looking too late.
What Pane shows you
Session and Weekly bars. The same 5-hour and 7-day Code windows the site lists, with reset times and pace warnings.
Plan name. Moderato, Allegretto, Allegro, or Vivace, from the membership level Kimi already reports.
Local spend. Turns from your Kimi Code session logs, priced at Moonshot's published API rates, so a flat plan still has a dollar picture.
Optional Kimi API wallet. Paste a separate platform API key in the Kimi API field to add its credits-used meter and balance. The Kimi For Coding plan key still produces only Session and Weekly.
How it connects to Kimi
If you have run kimi login, Pane reads that official CLI login. Without the CLI login, paste your Kimi For Coding plan key in Settings → API keys → Kimi Code. Both use Kimi's own coding usage endpoint; the CLI login wins when both are present.
The plan key is different from the platform Kimi API wallet key. Pane does not open the Kimi desktop chat app. Each token goes only to Kimi, and your quotas and spend stay on your PC.

Questions
What is a Kimi AI tracker?
A Kimi AI tracker shows how much of your Kimi Code session and weekly limits are left, plus when each window resets. Pane is a free Kimi usage tracker for Windows that sits in the tray next to your other AI plans.
Does Pane read the Kimi desktop app?
No. Pane uses the official Kimi Code CLI login or a Kimi For Coding plan key pasted in Settings. The Kimi chat desktop app is a different login and is left alone.
Why does Pane show 0% when the Kimi website shows a fraction?
The coding usage API reports remaining as whole percents. Usage under 1% can still paint as 0% in Pane. The website Total usage bar is also a different monthly membership pool (chat plus Code), not the Session and Weekly clocks on the card.
