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 API bar. Only if you paste a Kimi API key in Pane Settings. Plan-only installs stay on two bars. No third quota invented.
How it connects to Kimi
If you use Kimi Code and have run kimi login, there is nothing to paste. Pane reads that CLI login and calls Kimi's own coding usage endpoint, the same way it does for Claude Code and Codex.
It does not open the Kimi desktop chat app. Your plan token only ever goes to Kimi. Quotas and spend never leave 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 reads the official Kimi Code CLI login (kimi login), the same idea as Claude Code and the Codex CLI. 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.
