Claude code used to show the time that it'd reset. It was quite helpful to be able to plan for getting lunch, coffee, workout, etc.

I assume they're prepping for the Aug 28 hammer.. but removing transparency is a bit frustrating.

Note before your pants-ants go nuts, settle down I'm using roughly 70% sonnet.

5-hour limit reached ∙ resets 2pm
I didn’t understand something — I thought the limit reset every 5 hours! I didn’t realize there was a one-hour break between two 5-hour sessions...

I just switch from Cursor to Claude Code. I've understood that once u start any session with claude code, an open window of 5 hours just started, with some limit.

Im thinking about the idea to abuse it:

If I have 6 hours to work, say 4PM till 10PM
its best for me to "enjoy" 3 hours from one "five-hours-session" and another 3 hours from second "five-hours-session"
meaning, I should start claude code session in 2PM, so that when I start coding in 4PM, at 7PM, my window will reset.

Am I missing something?

I am a Pro user and often hit the timeout limit. As I understood it, Claude gives you a token limit that resets five hours after the session starts. Therefor I try to ask Claude a question immediately after waking up, thinking it will trigger the start of session and also the five hour reset timer. Then I can go about my morning routine a little bit more chill, bother Claude a little later, thinking it will clear the limit earlier than if I didnt send that question. So today I ask Claude a Question around 0800 in the morning, at about 1215 Claude tells me it will reset at 1600, although it should reset at 1300 if the session started at 0800.

So what is the issue here? Did I not trigger the 5h window with the initial question? Is the cooldown timer now dynamic?

Hey everyone,

Not sure what’s going on, but starting today, I’m suddenly hitting my usage limits after only a few non coding related prompts (like 3–4). This has never happened before.

I didn’t change my plan, my workflow, or the size of my prompts. I’m using Claude Code normally, and out of nowhere it tells me I’m at my limit and blocks further use.

A couple things I’m trying to figure out:

• Is this happening to anyone else today specifically?

• Did Anthropic quietly change the quota calculations?

• Could it be a bug or rate-limit miscount?

• Is there any workaround people found? Logging out, switching networks, switching country, etc.?

It’s super frustrating because I literally can’t work with only a few prompts before getting locked out.

If anyone has info or experienced the same thing today, please let me know.

Thanks!
