If you start coding at 12:00, the limit will not reset at 17:00, it will reset later when you message it again. May be at 19, maybe tomorrow. Many paid hours just got wasted. So I built a simple extension that sends a “hi” message on a schedule (default every 5 hours) to anchor the window. Features: 100% client-side, no data sent anywhere. Just uses your existing Claude session. Reuses the same chat instead of creating new ones Configurable interval Downsides: As it is an extension, it works only when your machine is on and the Chrome is running A new tab opens for a few seconds to ping, which is a bit distracting. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to make it invisible in the background. Installation: Download/clone this repo: https://github.com/Elegarret/claude-ping-extension Open Chrome → go to chrome://extensions Enable Developer mode (toggle in top right) Click Load unpacked → select this folder The extension icon appears in your toolbar PS Of course it is built with claude, but I have double checked the sources to be sure that it didnt make anything weird:) submitted by /u/Elegar
