What's Wrong?

Claude Code has rate limit set for different plans. When it hits the limit , it specifies the time when it is supposed to reset. But it does not do that, and keeps showing the rate limit message even after 15 minutes of the specified reset time.

What Should Happen?

It should reset limit with the time specified.
