Usage

Token Counter & Usage Bars (automatic)

Once installed, the extension automatically displays on claude.ai:

• Token count — Approximate token count and mini progress bar appear next to the conversation header
• Cache timer — Countdown showing how long the conversation remains cached
• Usage bars — Session (5h) and weekly (7d) usage bars appear near the model selector, with reset countdowns
• Click the usage bars to manually refresh. All data is read from Claude's native API.

Export Formats

JSON

• Complete data including all branches and metadata
• Best for data preservation and programmatic use
• Includes all message versions and conversation branches

Markdown

• Human-readable format with formatting
• Shows only the current conversation branch
• Includes optional metadata (timestamps, model info)
• Great for documentation or sharing

Plain Text

• Simple format following Claude's prompt style
• Uses "User:" and "Claude:" prefixes
• Shows only the current conversation branch
• Ideal for copying into other LLMs or text editors

Troubleshooting

"Failed to obtain organization ID"

• The extension auto-detects your Organization ID — make sure you're logged into Claude.ai and on a claude.ai tab
• If auto-detection fails, manually set it via the Options page: docs/INSTALL.md
• The format should be: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

"Not authenticated" error

• Make sure you're logged into Claude.ai
• Try refreshing the Claude.ai page

Export fails for some conversations

• Some very old conversations might have different data structures
• Check the browser console for specific error messages
• The ZIP export includes a summary file listing any failed exports

Content Security Policy errors

• Make sure you're using the latest version of the extension
• Try reloading the extension from chrome://extensions/

For browser-specific troubleshooting issues, see docs/INSTALL.md

---

Known Limitations

• Rate limiting: The extension processes conversations in small batches to avoid overwhelming the API
• Using a VPN may return a 403 error when trying to connect to the Claude API
• Plaintext and markdown formats only export the currently selected branch in conversations with multiple branches
• Large bulk exports may take several minutes
• Some special content types (like artifacts) may not export perfectly
• API does not preserve per-message model data
• conversation.model from the API is the current model only — when chats get bounced (deprecation, guardrails kicking to Sonnet 4, etc.) the original model is lost

---

Privacy & Security

• Local Processing: All data processing happens in your browser
• No External Servers: The extension doesn't send data anywhere
• Your Authentication: Uses your existing Claude.ai session
• Open Source: You can review all code before installation
