January 2026 (2026-01) – CodexBar (steipete/CodexBar). Focused on improving provider usage visibility in the UI, tightening alignment between calculation logic and display, and reducing noise in usage data to enable faster, more accurate decision-making. Delivered a UI toggle to surface the provider closest to the rate limit when Merge Icons is enabled; aligned usage calculation with UI display; and refined the top-usage selector to exclude fully rate-limited providers. Fixed window selection to match the menuBarPercentWindow logic, improving consistency between the UI and underlying metrics.
