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

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