Privacy by design

Your usage data stays in your browser.

The extension reads only the account and usage details needed to show your limits. It has no analytics, advertising, or project-owned server.

Last updated September 22, 2026

Overview

Read-only access, narrow purpose

Work & Codex Usage Monitor uses your existing signed-in ChatGPT browser session only to request and display Work and Codex usage information. The extension does not create a separate account and does not send your data to Fehistro Studio.

Data handled

What the extension may process

To show the information available for your account, the extension may temporarily process:

  • Your ChatGPT session response and access token.
  • Your account or workspace identifier.
  • Usage-limit percentages, reset times, credit balance, and related usage metadata.
  • Available banked-reset count and reset details returned by ChatGPT.

The access token is kept in memory only while a request is made. It is not written to extension storage.

The extension does not read or collect

Your conversations, prompts, responses, uploaded files, browsing history, passwords, or OpenAI API keys.

Local storage

What remains on your device

The extension stores a normalized copy of your latest usage information and, when needed, the latest request error. This lets the toolbar popup and on-page monitor display a useful state without sending information anywhere else.

Stored data stays inside Chrome's extension storage on your device. It is not sold, shared with advertisers, used for profiling, or transferred to a Fehistro Studio backend.

On-page monitor

A small overlay on ChatGPT

When you choose “Show on ChatGPT,” a content script displays the usage monitor on chatgpt.com. It does not inspect your conversations or page content.

The overlay asks the extension's existing background service worker for usage data when it opens, every five minutes while it remains open, and whenever you select Refresh. The content script does not make direct network requests.

Network requests

Only official ChatGPT endpoints

The extension communicates directly from your browser with these ChatGPT endpoints:

  • https://chatgpt.com/api/auth/session
  • https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/usage
  • https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/rate-limit-reset-credits

There are no analytics SDKs, tracking pixels, advertisements, or third-party data processors in the extension.

Your control

Informational, never transactional

The extension can display usage data, but it cannot redeem banked resets, purchase credits, change your account, send prompts, or bypass ChatGPT limits. Those actions remain available only through official OpenAI interfaces.

You can close the on-page monitor at any time. Removing the extension through Chrome also removes its locally stored extension data.
