What's Wrong?

It appears that MAX limits were reset to PRO level, if not lower, limit % goes down at enormous rate while doing nothing. Very simple things that even yesterday wouldn't even reflect on consumption, today eat 10% of session quota.
Having constant issues with Claude is annoying. Especially when it quickly gets into the extra usage and eats actual money. You should fix it and compensate everyone affected.

What Should Happen?

Session quota should be at around 1%, not 20%.

Error Messages/Logs

No errors, clearly misconfiguration on server side.

Steps to Reproduce

Just use Claude Code, or Claude in general. And look at your session quota.
