What's Wrong?

When my session usage is used up, I get this message "You've hit your org's monthly usage limit"

  1. I have claude pro, not any org account.
  2. Claude pro (as far as I know) does not have any monthly limit

Is this another stunt by anthropic to remove claude code from pro plan users?

What Should Happen?

It should say "Session usage used up, resets (time) PM MST" Or something like that, I can not remember the exact verbiage.

Many others have this same issue, looking at forums.

I got this when my 5-hour limit was reached.
I bought credits, which should not account for limits, yet the error did not go away, so all I could do is wait
After the 5 hours expired, Claude works again.

The unusable credits issue - Claude did give some free credits this month, I think it was $15. So your usage may have easily reached your monthly spending limits even if you haven't added much credits.
This is still a bug - the message shall say:

  • the 5-hour limit is reached
  • the monthly spending limit has been reached

Yes, I did get the credit, and it's used up. But, that's not the issue here.

The issue is it's giving me a Team plan error when I am on the pro plan.

This is confusing lots of users.

The message is about monthly usage limit it should be about monthly credit limit. And yes - the "org" thing.

Yeah, it always used to show a popup asking if I would like to stop and wait for limit to reset, or upgrade, but now it just goes straight to that error.

No sign of fix yet.

@geleto

I'm having the same issue.

I get the You've hit your org's monthly usage limit

It appears when I have hit the session limit. Not weekly, not monthly.

I have no option to choose extra credits.

All I can do is wait it out..

Suggestion:

It should have been a option:

  1. Continue when limit resets.

You have exceeded your monthly spend limit, increase it and it will work. The bug is that the message shall be about the monthly spend limit, not monthly usage.

@geleto @Christonn93 @sudoAPWH I was able to get this solved by selecting "Adjust monthly limit" under /extra-usage. Bumped it to account for extra usage I paid for + what Anthropic gifted a few weeks ago.

Yeah, it worked for me as well when I had extra usage.

But I prefer to not use it on some tasks, and it will keep on going with extra usage, with no warning.

Confirmed I am seeing the same issue. I am on the pro plan as well. No Org plan
This is new as I have hit session limits in the past and it has always said I have used up my session limits.

same still happened

I keep seeing the same pattern across Claude clients: the rate-limit message is whatever string the client hardcoded, not the bucket the server actually enforced. 'org's monthly usage limit' on a Pro account is the CLI mapping a 429 to the wrong dimension. Pro has no monthly org cap, it's a rolling 5h window plus a weekly quota now, and the client only learns which one you hit at the block. These strings drift because they guess from the error instead of reading the quota. /settings/usage returns the rolling + weekly numbers directly, so you can see which limit you actually hit, not just the label.

the tracker that reads the rolling 5h + weekly quota off the same endpoint https://claude-meter.com/r/h7iw3whm renders: https://claude-meter.com/r/yy52nuzm
