What's Wrong?

Claude Code is stating session limits have been hit when both session and weekly limits on the online Claude's dashboard (https://claude.ai/settings/usage) are only 87% and 10% respectively (and again with 85% and 19% usage in the subsequent 5hr session)

I checked if I actually had quota by starting a chat on claude.ai. If I were truly out of tokens / hit my session limits, the chat would've been rejected, but it was processed normally, indicating the issue is with the extension

This has happened for two sessions in a row now.

What Should Happen?

Claude code should continue allowing usage until the actual token limits are hit.
