Step by step

  1. Open the Command Palette

    Click the round AI Toolbox button in the bottom-right corner of chatgpt.com. A search window called the Command Palette opens.

    Shortcut: press Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows.

    You should see: A window with a box that says Search AI Toolbox features...

  2. Open the Usage Dashboard

    Type usage in the box. Click Usage Dashboard in the list.

    You should see: A window called Usage Dashboard with colored numbers at the top.

  3. Read today's numbers

    The top row shows how many messages you sent today, your streak (days in a row you used ChatGPT), and how many thinking messages you sent today.

    Below it are four cards: Messages Sent, Time Spent, Thinking Messages (Today) and Messaging Streak.

    You should see: Numbers for today, and your best streak under Messaging Streak if it was longer.

  4. Check your rate limit status

    Look at Rate Limit Status. On plans with no message cap, it shows your message count and Unlimited. On Plus, it shows Messages Used out of an estimated limit, plus a reset time once you have used half.

    If AI Toolbox could not tell your plan, it shows ? / ? and a menu that says Select your ChatGPT plan. Click the menu and pick your plan.

    You should see: Your message count with Unlimited, or a bar showing how much you have used.

    These are estimates counted by AI Toolbox. ChatGPT's own limits can change, so treat them as a guide.

  5. See charts and statistics (Premium)

    With Premium, scroll down to see Message History (a bar chart you can switch between Daily and Weekly), an Activity Heatmap of when you use ChatGPT, and Statistics.

    On the free plan these parts are blurred with a lock and Unlock Full Analytics.

    You should see: Charts of your messages over the last 30 days and your busiest hours.

  6. Make your ChatGPT Wrapped card

    Click Create & Share My ChatGPT Wrapped. It is free for everyone. Pick This Week, This Month or This Year, and a size: Story (1080x1920) or Card (1200x675).

    Click Download as PNG to save the picture, or Copy to Clipboard to paste it somewhere.

    You should see: A picture that sums up your ChatGPT use, ready to share.

  7. Put it on a quick button (optional)

    Move your mouse over the round button in the bottom-right corner. Five small quick buttons fan out. Right-click one you use less.

    In the list called Pin a feature to this slot, click Usage Dashboard.

    You should see: The quick button now opens the Usage Dashboard with one click.

That's it. You have finished every tutorial in this section.

If something doesn't look right

I can't find Usage Dashboard in the Command Palette

It may be switched off. Open Settings, find Usage & Analytics, and switch on Usage Dashboard. Then open the Command Palette and type usage again.

My numbers are zero or too low

The dashboard counts messages you send on chatgpt.com while AI Toolbox is on. Messages sent in the ChatGPT phone app or desktop app, or before you installed AI Toolbox, are not counted.

The rate limit shows ? / ?

AI Toolbox could not tell which ChatGPT plan you have. Click the Select your ChatGPT plan menu under Rate Limit Status and choose your plan.

The charts are blurred

Message History, Activity Heatmap and Statistics are Premium. The numbers at the top, Rate Limit Status and the Wrapped card are free.

Free and Premium

Free: today's numbers, your streak, Rate Limit Status and the shareable Wrapped card. Premium adds Message History, Activity Heatmap, Statistics and Sync Now.

  • Free: today's messages, time spent, thinking messages, streak, Rate Limit Status and the Wrapped card.
  • Premium: Message History, Activity Heatmap, Statistics with an estimated API cost, and Sync Now.
  • Only counts and times are tracked. The words of your messages are never stored.

What ChatGPT does on its own

ChatGPT has a Usage & billing page in Settings for Work and Codex, where eligible plans see limits and usage history. OpenAI says regular chat usage is not included in those views.

The AI Toolbox Usage Dashboard counts your regular ChatGPT chat messages sent on chatgpt.com, with daily numbers, streaks and, on Premium, charts of when you use ChatGPT most.

Questions people ask

How can I see how many messages I sent in ChatGPT?

Install the free AI Toolbox extension, click the round button in the bottom-right corner of chatgpt.com, type usage and open Usage Dashboard. It shows the ChatGPT messages you sent today, time spent and your streak. It counts messages you send on chatgpt.com while AI Toolbox is on.

Does ChatGPT show your usage stats?

ChatGPT's Usage and billing page covers Work and Codex, and OpenAI says regular chat usage is not included there. The AI Toolbox Usage Dashboard counts your regular ChatGPT chat messages, with today's totals and streaks for free and charts, a heatmap and statistics with Premium.

Is the AI Toolbox rate limit counter exact?

No, it is an estimate. AI Toolbox counts the messages you send on chatgpt.com and compares them with its model of your ChatGPT plan. ChatGPT can change its limits at any time, so use the Rate Limit Status in the Usage Dashboard as a guide, not a promise.

What is ChatGPT Wrapped in AI Toolbox?

ChatGPT Wrapped is a picture that sums up your ChatGPT use for a week, month or year, such as messages sent, busiest day and peak hour. Open the AI Toolbox Usage Dashboard, click Create and Share My ChatGPT Wrapped, then download it as a PNG. It is free for everyone.

Does the AI Toolbox Usage Dashboard read my messages?

No. The AI Toolbox Usage Dashboard only tracks counts and times, such as when you sent a message and how long it was. The words of your ChatGPT messages are never stored. You can switch the dashboard off in Settings under Usage and Analytics, which also stops the tracking.
