Design intent
The usage meter lives in the dashboard header and the license detail panel. It shows consumed vs. total sessions for the current billing period. The goal is radical clarity: the user should never wonder whether they are close to a limit.
Visual structure
Sessions this month847 / 1,000
Resets on the 1st of each month. Overage is never billed without explicit opt-in.
Threshold states
- 0–80% — violet fill, no warning. Normal operation.
- 80–95% — pink fill, subtle pulse on the percentage label. A non-blocking tooltip suggests upgrading.
- 95%+ — red fill, the bar breathes. A persistent banner appears: “You are near your session limit.”
Grace period
When a user hits 100%, Nimbus does not hard-stop. A 24-hour grace window activates. The meter turns solid red and a countdown timer replaces the session count. After grace expiry, the loader shows a friendly upgrade prompt — never a crash or silent failure.
