Daily Reports

Daily reports show token usage and costs aggregated by calendar date, giving you a clear view of your Claude Code usage patterns over time.

Basic Usage

Show all daily usage:

ccusage daily
# or simply:
ccusage

The daily command is the default, so you can omit it when running ccusage.

Example Output
