Yes, me too. I had a similar post, but it wasn't allowed here, and I was forced to post only in the Usage Limits thread. My weekly limit was "due" on Thursday, and I had like 70% usage left. So lots of it. It reset on Monday. I feel cheated. This is what I got. https://imgur.com/a/fJ2zJ4Y Needless to say, I just sent two messages and now my weekly limit is 2%. So 1% for one message. No attachment, no nothing. Just plain text. Creative text, because I never code. Not my field. To clarify: everything with Sonnet 4.5. No usage limit for Opus. Answer from Unkai108 on reddit.com

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Update on Usage Limits
October 1, 2025 -
We've just reset weekly limits for all Claude users on paid plans.
We've seen members of this community hitting their weekly usage limits more quickly than they might have expected. This is driven by usage of Opus 4.1, which can cause you to hit the limits much faster than Sonnet 4.5.
To help during this transition, we've reset weekly limits for all paid Claude users.
Our latest model, Sonnet 4.5 is now our best coding model and comes with much higher limits than Opus 4.1. We recommend switching your usage over from Opus, if you want more usage. You will also get even better performance from Sonnet 4.5 by turning on "extended thinking" mode. In Claude Code, just use the tab key to toggle this mode on.
We appreciate that some of you have a strong affinity for our Opus models (we do too!). So we've added the ability to purchase extra usage if you're subscribed to the Max 20x plan. We’ll put together more guidance on choosing between our models in the coming weeks.
We value this community’s feedback. Please keep it coming – we want our models and products to work well for you.

Thank you, but can you confirm whether we still have access to 25-40 hours of Opus for typical use as stated in your documentation here: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11145838-using-claude-code-with-your-pro-or-max-plan Can you confirm yes or no? So for typical use, single session with no subagents, can we expect to hit 25-40 hours of Opus? Also, Sonnet should provide 240-480 hours of typical use? Yes or no?

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Weekly and session limits suddenly reset on Claude Pro — anyone else?
1 month ago -
I'm a Claude Pro user. Right now it's around 8:40 PM in France. Before 8 PM, I had about 12 hours left until my weekly limit reset (I had used roughly 50%) and about 40 minutes left on my 5-hour session limit (I had used roughly 70%).
But just after 8 PM, both my weekly and session limits were completely reset. The weekly limit is now showing Monday at 8 AM. I was running a task in Claude Code CLI at the time.
I distinctly remember it previously saying the weekly limit would reset on Tuesday morning, France time. Even if it were in US time, it should have been Tuesday afternoon. This sudden reset is confusing and unexpected.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Any ideas on why it might have happened?

I’m on the $50 plan and recently got a “Weekly limit reached” message, even though I’ve barely used Claude Code this week.
When I checked with
ccusage blocks --period week
the actual usage looks very low (see screenshot).
the PROJECTED value keeps increasing and shows several hundred percent over the limit — which doesn’t make sense.
Is anyone else experiencing something similar?
Could this be a bug in how the projection is calculated?
Thanks!

Yeah. Brutal limits. Very frustrating even at the $100 tier. If you use Opus for deep research once a week it will just ruin your capacity. Now I use Gemini for all the things I used to use Opus for and - while it is solid - tends to be overly pedantic and doesn’t give quite the same nuance as Opus did. Super wack considering how gassed up they JUST were about Opus a few weeks ago. These companies only seem to care about quality during the actual release cycle itself. As soon as the media looks away it is back to breadcrumbs. Boo!
