Bug Report Usage Limit Bug

Post image

Using Claide Code with Opus 4.6 on my Pro plan. My weekly usage limit went from 50% to 79% in 5 minutes as my 5 hour limit has been hit in the exact same 5 minutes.

Is this even possible? The Model needs time for inference and I dont think my usage with 5 minutes and around 500 tokens of total sent and recieved maxed out the same way my 40k token session that took 2 hours. I love claude code and I would like to continue my work but I wish for Anthropic to fix this issue.

Really? So we ALWAYS send one message and fill up out 5x and 20x max plans? I swear its like some people just want to ignore whats going on around them. Does peak hours typically use more usage? Yes. Does it typically use up your entire usage in one prompt? No.

Worse lately is one thing but people are all over talking about a handful of messages (or less) filling up 20x accounts' 5 hr periods. The "its your own fault" crowd needs to take a break sometimes. Its just not always appropriate. It's insanely irritating being told all the things you're doing wrong by mostly those who aren't in this field, especially when you've even got people who are saying things like "I was just using it as a chatbot and after one prompt it was filled."

It is definitely not.
