Mistral Vibe: Footer Shows Monthly Vibe Code Usage Spent
Mistral VibeMistral Vibe 3.1.0 added a footer indicator showing how much of the monthly Vibe Code usage has been spent. It turns yellow and then red as the allowance runs out. It is marked PAYG when pay-as-you-go covers usage beyond the allowance.
Key Takeaways
- The footer now shows how much of the monthly Vibe Code usage is spent, with no separate account page needed.
- The indicator turns yellow, then red as the allowance runs out, which works as an early warning.
- A PAYG marker appears when pay-as-you-go covers usage past the monthly amount.
- Users can see the difference between included usage and billed usage while working.
- The plan name now reads Free, Pro or Team, which keeps the labels consistent.
- The gauge is part of a wider footer redesign in 3.1.0, covering context and PR status.
What is new
Mistral Vibe 3.1.0 puts the monthly Vibe Code usage in the footer. Users no longer need to leave the terminal to find out how much of their allowance is gone.
How the indicator behaves
The footer shows how much of the monthly usage is spent. As the allowance runs low, the indicator turns yellow, then red. When the plan has pay-as-you-go enabled and covers usage past the monthly amount, the indicator is marked PAYG, so users can see that further use will be billed.
Plan label
In the same release, the plan name in the interface reads Free, Pro or Team.
Why it matters
Running out of included usage mid-task is disruptive. A color change before the limit is reached gives time to wrap up, switch approach or rely on pay-as-you-go. The PAYG marker also makes it clear when usage has moved beyond the included amount.
