You've hit your limit · resets 4pm (Europe/Berlin)
Bug Description
Session rate limit triggers before reaching 100% usage
I'm on a Claude Max plan and consistently get blocked by the session rate limit ("You've hit your limit") while the usage page on claude.ai still shows the session at ~86% used. The weekly "All models" limit is at 63% and "Sonnet only" at 2%, so neither of those should be the bottleneck.
Steps to reproduce:
Use Claude Code with Opus model on Max plan
Work until rate limited
Check usage at claude.ai — session usage shows well below 100%
Expected behavior: Session limit should only block at or near 100%, not at ~86%.
Actual behavior: Claude Code reports "You've hit your limit · resets [time]" while the session usage bar on claude.ai shows ~86%.
Environment:
Claude Code version: 2.1.38
Plan: Claude Max
Region: Europe/Berlin
OS: Windows (WSL - Kali)
This has persisted across updates from 2.1.29 to 2.1.38. Happy to provide screenshots or additional debug info.
