dvcrn MiniMax Usage
Check your MiniMax coding plan credits remaining.
Usage
# Check remaining credits
minimax-usage.sh
# Only alert when remaining drops below 20%
minimax-usage.sh --threshold 20
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--threshold <percent> |
Only output when remaining % is below this value. If omitted, always outputs. |
Output
Returns a Discord-formatted message:
- Title with model name (warning icon when below threshold)
- Remaining requests out of total with percentage
- Reset time in Eastern Time
- Time left in H:MM:SS
Example: Below threshold alert
When remaining usage falls below the configured threshold:
⚠️ MiniMax Usage Alert — MiniMax-M1
Remaining: 42 of 500 requests (8.4%)
Resets: Feb 17, 2026 12:00 AM ET
Time left: 7:23:15
When above the threshold, the command produces no output and exits with code 0.
Cron Job
The --threshold flag makes this ideal for a cron job that runs periodically and only sends an alert when available credits drop below a percentage:
# Check every 30 minutes, alert if below 20%
# Requires MINIMAX_API_KEY to be set in the cron environment

No output is produced when usage is above the threshold, so downstream commands (e.g. a webhook) are only triggered when credits are running low.
