[BUG] Claude Code and VS Code completely blocked despite 98% session and 16% weekly usage remaining

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude Code CLI and VS Code extension are completely blocked with "You've hit your limit · resets 12am (America/Denver)" error message, despite having substantial remaining usage on my Claude Pro plan. The web interface (claude.ai) works normally. This appears to be a backend limit calculation error.

What Should Happen?

With 98% of my 5-hour session remaining and 16% of my weekly limit remaining, Claude Code and VS Code should allow me to send messages and use the tools normally, as I do on the web interface.

Error Messages/Logs

Claude Code error:
> You've hit your limit · resets 12am (America/Denver)

This message appears when attempting to:
1. Send any prompt in Claude Code CLI
2. Send any prompt in VS Code extension
3. Run any Claude Code commands

Steps to Reproduce

1. Authenticate Claude Code with Claude Pro account
2. Run claude logout to clear authentication
3. Run claude login to re-authenticate with same account
4. Run /model and switch to Sonnet 4.5
5. Type any message/prompt
6. Press Enter to send
7. Observe "You've hit your limit" error appears immediately

Expected: Message should process and Claude should respond
Actual: Message is blocked with limit error despite remaining usage
