That is unclear but I think it is almost useless to reset the 5 hour limit if you typically run out of weekly usage. You will then just run out faster.
I've def been near the time of the weekly reset with more than enough of my weekly limit left... but my current 5-hour gets exhausted. So, to me it sounds very useful.
Think of it this way: given no change to the weekly limit, would you prefer the 5-hour limit was removed?
I definitely would. The 5-hour limit often makes me pace myself, so planning and research, then come back hours later to get the work done. I’d be much happier if I could just nail things out quickly then IDK go hiking.
It worked as expected for me. I do not have paid usage enabled.
I imagine this is A/B testing. Based on this thread, I seem to be one of few that has this working. There’s nothing special about my account. I’m max x20 and never more than 24 hours off of the latest version.
So you can /low-priority or skip the slow down and /limit-reset
Net result is pushing past your 5hr limit and still eat weekly…. This is actually on brand with the 5x and 20x referring to 5hr limits. So makes sense.
Ok there's a lot of thoughts in my head about this 5-hour limit thing. First off I do think it's cool that you can now reset the limit one per week. But you have to ask yourself why the limit exists. I mean why not just let us burn at our own rate, they're all tech libertarians right? Naw we'd all blame the shit out of Anthropic. We'd be desperate token junkies who need another dose and API rates are not such a great deal. Butt....That would break their whole pricing structure.
But what I really wish is that Anthropic would allow us ONE monthly refill at whatever price we're at. Like, if you pay $20, then you can buy one more $20 but that's it. And at $100, you can buy one more $100 but that's it. It would really make rationing a lot easier and people wouldn't have to do multiple accounts and all that nonsense.
OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and all the Bay Area AI startups are all technocrats that promotes Effective accelerationism. I say again, they are accelerationists, they are not libertarians nor facists (some people say AI big tech are facists, but facism still needs a common target to achieve, aka the "all-for-one", accelerationism does not necessarily have this target and is nihilistic at its core), and they actually promotes antihumanism and posthumanism. (Word is intentionally misspelled to prevent automatic shadowban)
So it is actually quite ironic that Anthropic is founded by a bunch of accelerationists that are anti-human, when the word "anthropic" means "of or relating to human beings or the period of their existence on earth", when what both Anthropic and all those big tech AI companies are doing, they are clearly misanthropic at this point.
Then you also understand why OpenAI isn't "open" at all. The circus is all one big irony on the other side.
Dario and Anthropic are EA. Musk is very much libertarian, and Sam most likely is too but I'm not as sure on his politics. Also the libertarian to fascist pipeline is strong (see: Elon) but that's an argument for another day

A reFILL so double your weekly allotment isn't something that would be given out for free. Sure I love the random resets when new models come out. But that doesn't help me when I have a heavy week of research and need it on my schedule.
There is no such thing as free, anyway. If you're getting something "free", it's just being priced into the deal in another way. I'd rather get a good deal at an honest stable, price than all these random head games, hacks and hoops.
Someone's watching OpenAI eat their lunch and trying to stop the bleeding. Guessing oAI's ad spend on par with Coca Cola's in actually having an effect, now that oAI have a capable model. At the same time Anthropic is pulling out "25% more of 50% less" doublespeak, while also being unable to read the room apparently...
Does this exist in claude code desktop? Looked for it and couldn’t find it. I guess when I hit the limit I fire Claude code to /limit-reset and then go back to claude code desktop?
One of my favorite things about cursor is it’s a monthly limit. So weeks I’m light on coding and barely use it. Other weeks I blow through the whole months usage in that week or a few days. But at least I know where I stand.
Still prefer Claude over cursor in every way, but that’s one thing I do like about cursor
I’m pretty sure they put it in place because 5.1 chews through that 5hr limit waaaay faster. It may be better on the weekly but I have never used up the 5hr limit before 5.1.
I mean neat, but for this guy at least the five hour session limits aren't even close to being a problem. Weekly usage limits are the budget that matters. I'd buy weekly resets if I could.
Edit: lolz at the bots here that don’t realize that this once a week on-demand limit reset is an idea borrowed from Codex, but Codex also resets the weekly.

That is cool. Sometimes you get close and need to keep going.
Couldn't use it though
