[1] ccusage turns files on your own computer into daily, weekly, monthly, and session reports. [2] Codex Forecast gives a guess of when OpenAI will next reset Codex usage limits, not a promise. [3]

What software agency owners need from AI usage limit trackers
A software agency owner runs AI usage as a cost spread across a team. Three questions usually matter. How much of an AI agent's usage has the team spent, is the service up, and when do its limits come back.
Those are different questions, and they need different tools. Usage tools read what the team has spent. Status tools report whether a service is having trouble. A reset tracker tries to say when limits refill.
For an agency, an incorrect estimate of remaining usage or reset timing can affect how work is scheduled and how AI costs are tracked. Some tools read data on your own machines, and some watch public status pages. Codex Forecast is free, with no account and no paid tier. [3] StatusGator offers a free trial with no credit card required. [5] IsDown publishes prices for its plans. [4] A tool that covers many services may be more than an agency needs, and a tool built for one purpose may not cover the others. Check whether a tool reports the agency's usage, outages, or reset timing, because none of the three stands in for the others. The sections below say what each source states and nothing more.
OpenAI Status for software agency owners
Its page says it is not aware of any issues affecting its systems. [1]
It lists uptime for Codex of 99.95% across 4 components. [1] ChatGPT had 99.57% uptime across 16 components. [1]
If the team needs its own usage or a reset date, check whether the page gives it.
ccusage for software agency owners
ccusage reads local usage data from coding agent CLIs and turns it into daily, weekly, monthly, and session reports. [2]
It analyzes coding agent CLI token usage and costs from local data. [2] It can be run directly without a global installation using npx. [2]
IsDown for software agency owners
IsDown publishes plan prices. The Starter plan for individuals costs $27 per month, or $22 per month when paid annually. [4] Paying annually saves about 20%. [4]
Its Outage Data API provides real-time and historical outage data from 6,320+ vendors. [4] Check whether OpenAI and Codex are among the services the agency needs.
StatusGator for software agency owners
StatusGator monitors the status of 11,270+ services such as cloud infrastructure, hosted applications, and SaaS tools. [5]
It is rated 5.0 on Capterra, GetApp, and Software Advice. [5] It offers a free trial with no credit card required. [5]
Claude Code Usage Monitor for software agency owners
Claude Code Usage Monitor supports Python 3.9 and later. [6]
It uses the Custom plan as its default configuration. [6] It can be installed using pip. [6]
Codex Forecast for software agency owners
Codex Forecast is made by the team that publishes this site. It gives a statistical estimate of when OpenAI will next reset Codex usage limits. [3]
It combines an account it checks every 60 seconds, OpenAI staff announcements and the OpenAI status page. [3] When a measured refill and an announcement disagree, it trusts the measured refill. [3] Each reset used in the forecast is listed with a link to where it was announced. [3]
You can opt in to free emails that are sent when a reset actually happens. [3] It is free, with no account and no paid tier. [3] It is an independent tracker and is not affiliated with OpenAI. [3] The site and API share a snapshot that is cached for up to five minutes. [3]
Matching the tool to the job
To see what the team has spent, ccusage reads files on your own computer and reports it by day, week, month and session. [2]
To see whether OpenAI has a known problem, OpenAI Status reports on its systems. [1] StatusGator monitors the status of 11,270+ services. [5] IsDown offers outage data from 6,320+ vendors via API. [4]
To track Claude Code usage on the team's machines, Claude Code Usage Monitor needs Python 3.9 or later. [6]
To estimate when Codex limits reset, Codex Forecast gives a guess. [3] Its named-day predictions are scored in public, misses included. [3] The published information does not include an accuracy figure, so the hit rate and error figure are not yet known.
To build reset data into the agency's own tools, Codex Forecast has a public API that needs no key and gives stats, reset history, forecasts and service information. [3] The API has a published OpenAPI specification. [3]
Questions to ask before you choose
Which question do you need answered: the team's usage, service outages, or reset timing?
Do you want a tool that reads files on your own machines, or a website you open? ccusage reads local usage data. [2] Codex Forecast is a website with a public API. [3]
How fresh does the data need to be? Check how each source updates its numbers.
What can the agency spend? Codex Forecast is free, with no account and no paid tier. [3] StatusGator offers a free trial with no credit card required. [5] IsDown publishes plan prices. [4] Check the other options' pages for their current costs.
Do you need the tool to cover Codex specifically, or other agents such as Claude Code? Check each source's list of services before you rely on it.
Does one person run tools, or does a team? Team needs such as shared status pages may matter only in the second case.
