r/Anthropic on Reddit: Claude code removes the helpful 5-hour limit reset time, now just says "Approaching 5-hour limit"
August 20, 2025 -
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.

After hitting the limit, it does show the time: Knowing the time beforehand was nice to plan that for instance, in about 20 minutes (when I hit the limit), I'll have a break until X.

Interesting, seems a bit coincidental that it is right after this post https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1musjd5/claudes_time_blocks_were_screwing_me_over_so_i/

You are misunderstanding the limits… Your five hour window starts from when you begin using it during a fresh window. i.e. if you start at 10am, it will finish at 2pm regardless if you reached your usage limit. Then at 2pm, the usage limit restarts a new 5 hour window (the moment you begin using it after 2pm) What seems to have happened in your case is you reached your usage limit before the 5 hour window was up…so it’s not a “one hour break”. It’s likely you used your limit up at the 4th hour of your cycle…hence having to wait an hour before using again.

they changed something today, I hit my limit on low usage in 2 hours, usually I will be going max speed , multiple projects and only max out near the 5 hour limit ($200 plan). Seems very restrictive today, and I am not doing much.... this is sad.
