[Bug] Rate limit prompt shown despite 0% usage on Max plan

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• [x] This is a single bug report
• [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude Code repeatedly shows the /rate-limit-options prompt (stop and wait / add funds / upgrade plan) despite my Max plan showing 0% usage across all metrics:

• Current session: 0% used
• Weekly limits (all models): 0% used
• Sonnet only: 0% used (never used)

Restarting Claude Code does not resolve the issue. The rate limit prompt reappears immediately.

Usage Dashboard Screenshot

Plan usage limits
Current session: 0% used
Weekly limits (All models): 0% used
Sonnet only: 0% used
Extra usage: $50.01 spent (resets Mar 1)
Monthly spend limit: Unlimited

Expected Behavior

With 0% plan usage, Claude Code should accept prompts normally without showing rate limit options.

Actual Behavior

Claude Code immediately presents the rate limit options menu on every prompt:

❯ /rate-limit-options
What do you want to do?

❯ 1. Stop and wait for limit to reset
  2. Add funds to continue with extra usage
  3. Upgrade your plan

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Code (Max plan, 0% usage)
2. Send any prompt
3. Rate limit options appear despite no usage

Environment

• Plan: Max
• Claude Code version: 2.1.59
• OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS (x86_64)
• Installation method: Native binary

Notes

• Restarting Claude Code does not fix the issue
• The web/desktop Claude app works fine on the same account
