Status Line Layout Streamlined for At-a-Glance Reset Times and Cache Hits
While pair programming in the terminal, the real-time information at the very bottom of the screen is now more concise.
The first line now keeps only the project name and two quotas, while context window information moves to the end of the second line. The two quotas are displayed in a dimmer color, labeling the reset time before the remaining time, such as 22:00 (3h45m left). The cache section removes the progress bar and countdown, showing only the hit rate instead, such as cache:93%. Because Claude Code resets the timer every time a message is sent and does not redraw the screen when idle, the countdown almost permanently hovered around 59 minutes and is no longer shown. The hint text added in 0.31.4 noting that the cache has cooled down and N tokens will be rewritten next round has also been removed from the status line.
