How to track Claude Cowork usage?

[PhunkyBob]

Hello,
I'm using both "Claude Code" (CLI) and "Claude Cowork" (Windows desktop app), but when I run CodeBurn, it only displays Claude Code usage.
Is there a way to also track Claude Desktop's usage?

CodeBurn does read Claude Desktop sessions, including Cowork, but there's a catch that probably explains what you're seeing. The Claude provider docs (docs/providers/claude.md) note that since October 6, 2026, new Claude Cowork tasks on Pro and Max plans run in Anthropic's cloud instead of on your computer. They don't write local session files anymore, so CodeBurn has nothing to read for them. Cowork tasks started on your machine before that date are still picked up.

On Windows, CodeBurn looks for Desktop sessions in %APPDATA%/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/, and for the Microsoft Store version under %LOCALAPPDATA%/Packages/<Claude package>/LocalCache/Roaming/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/. If you have older local sessions that still don't show up, you can point it at the folder with CODEBURN_DESKTOP_SESSIONS_DIR.

The plan limit windows CodeBurn shows come from Anthropic's own usage numbers, so they still include cloud Cowork usage. It just can't price those tasks per session.
