Questions
Which limits does it show?
The 5-hour session window and the weekly limits, each with its reset time.
Does it slow my agent down?
No. Earlyman only watches. It never sits between your agent and the model unless you choose the optional relay.
Can I get the warning somewhere else?
Yes. Alerts can go to a Mac notification, Slack, a webhook or your own script, once you add one.
