What's Wrong?

One request in Claude's code, without being completed, causes a usage jump from 0 to 100% and an error message - You've hit your limit. This happens. This happens within a fraction of a second, without Claude processing or even thinking about the request. And after it uses API pricing.

Thank you, Claude, for your support -

I apologize for the disruption you experienced with your API usage. We take service reliability very seriously, but unfortunately we're unable to issue compensation for degraded service or consumed credits in these situations. We are consistently working on improvements to our infrastructure to better handle high traffic volume and prevent similar issues from happening in the future. Thank you for your patience.

What Should Happen?

Usage should work normally
