What's Wrong?

⚠️ Note: This is a Claude Desktop app UI bug, not a Claude Code CLI bug. The Fin support bot directed me here to submit a bug report. The template fields below are filled out as accurately as possible for a Desktop app report.

The usage indicator in the Code tab (bottom toolbar, to the right of the model picker and reasoning effort selector) displays "Plan 46%". This figure is being pulled from the Claude Design weekly limit, not the limits relevant to Claude Code. The 5-hour rolling limit is at 2% and the standard weekly limit is at 10%. The indicator appears to be surfacing whichever plan limit has the highest usage percentage, regardless of whether that limit is relevant to the current product context.

What Should Happen?

The Plan % in the Code tab should reflect the limits that actually govern Claude Code usage: the 5-hour rolling limit and/or the standard weekly limit. The Claude Design weekly limit is a separate, experimental quota with no bearing on Claude Code sessions. Displaying it as the primary Plan % figure is actively misleading, and a user glancing at "Plan 46%" will reasonably conclude they've consumed nearly half their plan, when their relevant limits are at 2% and 10%.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Desktop app and navigate to the Code tab
  2. Observe the usage indicator in the bottom toolbar
  3. Hover over the indicator to expand the usage breakdown
  4. Note that the collapsed "Plan XX%" figure matches the Claude Design weekly limit (the highest value shown), not the 5-hour or standard weekly limits
