What's Wrong?

Anthropic servers stopped processing my requests. My usage limits are by far not reached (I am on the 100$ max plan) - actually they just did fully rest today, still my work is interrupted. I am using claude desktop (code)

What Should Happen?

Claude should process my request.

Additional Information

Update1 (31.05.2026)
The issue remains (now for two days) already. I can use any model including the Opus 1M context model. As Claude Desktop only lists 7 models to pick from (there is only one "Sonnet 4.6" listed) I have no way to finding/deciding which context size version of a model I want to use. Just for Oput there is "Opus 4.8" and "Opus 4.8 (1M context)" which both work fine for me.

Update2 (31.05.2026)
The problem seems to be linked with the session I am in. The faulty session works fine for all models, except Sonnet (that still gives me a "pay more to receive service" error). If I open a new Session, then Sonnet works again as if nothing was wrong. In this new session I am now somewhere around 2M tokens used with Sonnet on "Medium effort" and I have not seen any more api errors.
@Manish-Kumar94 , @aycmcompany maybe that solves your situation as well

Update3 (31.05.2026)
And the problem is back and now appears in the new session as well "Server is temporarily limiting requests - Too many requests right now — try again in a moment.".
