visually intuitive, requires no extra widget space.
I meant cumbersome in terms of resource requirement and UI. At present there is no UI requirements for input, this would be required just to cope with a number that you could input yourself. The widget would also have to query the dat/time a lot to compare to the reset date. Would the colouration be based on overall usage for the given period (some people use per month, others per week) or on your usage relevant to progression through the given period? All this added complexity to a simple programme. It would also as a result use more power, not a lot but it all adds up.
