I came here to say the same, context would be really helpful here:

 Approaching 5-hour limit

vs

 Approaching 5-hour limit (resets at 1pm GMT)

The second is much more helpful, as it allows you to make judgement calls like:

ah well, let's plough on through, as when it runs out I can go for lunch, and it'll have reset by the time I'm done.

vs

yikes, that's not for hours!! <hits escape to stop Claude burning credit ASAP>. Right, let's think through what is most important to delegate to Claude, and what I should do myself.

It now seems to show a percent used and when it will reset, so I suspect this can be closed now. @taylorsatula - agree?
