Bug Description

At 10pm 22Aug2025 EST, I was notified that my limit was reached and that it would reset at 12am (midnight). I resumed my Claude Code session at midnight, accidentally closed my VS Code instance, reopened it and started a new Claude Code session. At 3am 23Aug2025, I was notified with "5-hour limit reached ∙ resets 5am". I was active for only 3 hours, yet my 5 hour limit was reached.

Steps to Reproduce

See Bug Description

Expected Behavior

I expected to be notified my 5 hour limit was reached at 5am after resuming session at midnight.

Actual Behavior

My 5 hour session was terminated 2 hours early.

Additional Context

Did the 5 hour time incorrectly start when my prior session was halted instead of when it was resumed?
