 ## 0.50.1 — Unreleased
 
+### Added
+- Usage bars: make workday tick marks configurable with hidden, subtle, and high-contrast appearances (#2904, #2950). Thanks @dstier-git!
+
 ### Fixed
 - Usage & Spend: keep safely priced Codex totals visible after completed history scans when request-tier uncertainty leaves some days unpriced (#2948). Thanks @Atopoz for the report!
 - Vertex AI: match Cloud Monitoring quota usage without a `limit_name` to its unambiguous same-metric, same-location limit, restoring quota percentages (#2958). Thanks @MachApple!
