Show Perplexity rate limits, settings, and model match/mismatch HUD
Perplexity Status HUD adds a small floating panel on Perplexity.ai that shows your live usage limits, account settings, and which model actually answered your last request (vs the one you selected).
The HUD is draggable, remembers its position, and updates automatically as you use Perplexity.
What it shows
/rest/rate-limit/all and /rest/user/settings using your existing session).display_model returned by Perplexity does not match the user_selected_model.How it works
window.fetch on perplexity.ai and inspects JSON responses for display_model and user_selected_model.localStorage (ppx_v16_pos, ppx_mod) to remember HUD position and model history.https://perplexity.ai/* and https://www.perplexity.ai/* in normal browsers with a userscript manager.Credits
Original idea and bookmarklet UI by u/banecorn, from this Reddit post:
“Built a floating dashboard to track Perplexity Pro limits” (r/perplexity_ai).
This userscript is simply a cleaned-up Tampermonkey port of that bookmarklet so it runs automatically without needing to click the bookmark.
Installation
perplexity.ai in a normal browser tab (extensions must be allowed).Notes
