OrbitMeter
A standalone, unofficial Starlink usage and billing companion.
OrbitMeter focuses on Starlink usage and account context without bundling QuotaLK's Dialog or SLT integrations. It can show current billing-cycle usage, daily usage, previous-cycle history, service-line nickname and plan, subscription state, currency and due dates, and the latest payment summary when those values are available from the Starlink account portal.
What it does
OrbitMeter is a Starlink-only Chromium extension built from QuotaLK's shared provider core, with its own manifest, popup, background worker, permissions, branding, and release output.
- Starlink-only standalone Manifest V3 build with a dedicated popup and background worker.
- Current billing-cycle usage displayed with provider-reported decimal GB semantics.
- Recent daily usage and previous billing-cycle history when available.
- Service-line nickname, plan, subscription state, currency, due dates, and latest payment summary when provided by Starlink.
- Saved usage shown immediately with revalidation when data becomes stale.
- Background refresh choices of Off, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours; default is Off.
- Retry backoff and authentication-aware pause behavior after failures.
- Masked service-line identifiers in persisted snapshots, including migration away from older raw cached identifiers.
- No QuotaLK-only scripting permission and no Dialog or SLT provider code in the OrbitMeter background worker.
