What's Wrong?
Found a massive blocker / bug in Claude Code.
If you run out of Opus usage, the session cap completely locks you out of Sonnet too.???
I have 98% of my weekly Sonnet allowance remaining, but I'm entirely locked out.
Paying $200+ to be denied access to resources I haven't even touched is incredibly frustrating and sad. :(
is a fix coming for this? (And honestly, the 5-hour session caps need a rework if they make hitting the weekly limit impossible anyway).

What Should Happen?
I should be able to model switch to sonnet, and it should work perfectly fine and allow me to stay within my usage limits.
