[BUG] Weekly quota consumption is disproportionately higher than 5-hour session usage

What's Wrong?
The weekly quota consumption in Claude Code appears significantly higher than expected compared to the 5-hour session quota.
I noticed that usage within a 5-hour session seems normal and consistent, but when compared to the weekly quota, the consumption is not proportional.
For example, using around 40% of the 5-hour session quota results in approximately 10% of the weekly quota being consumed. Based on this pattern, fully consuming a 5-hour session would consume roughly 25% of the weekly quota, meaning only about four sessions would exhaust the entire weekly quota.
This behavior feels inconsistent and suggests either a miscalculation, tracking issue, or an unexpected quota distribution model.
What Should Happen?
Weekly quota consumption should be proportional and consistent with the 5-hour session usage. The relationship between session usage and weekly quota should be clearly defined and predictable.

Steps to Reproduce
- Use Claude Code during a 5-hour session
- Observe session usage reaching around 40%
- Check weekly quota consumption
- Compare both values
- Notice disproportionate weekly quota usage (approx. 10% consumed)
