What's Wrong?
I hit the session rate limit (100% used) and the session restarted. On my very first prompt after the reset, usage immediately showed 33% consumed — before I'd done anything new.
Environment:
- Claude Code CLI on Linux (Ubuntu, kernel 6.8.0-106-generic)
- Model: Opus 4.6 (1M context)
- Plan: Pro (no extra usage enabled)
What Should Happen?
After a session rate limit reset, usage should start at 0%. The previous conversation context should not count against the new session's budget.
