What's Wrong?
On the Max 20x plan, my 5-hour rolling usage window showed 36% consumed after 10+ hours of complete inactivity. The window should have fully expired and reset to 0%. Additionally, usage climbed from 46% to 52% while I was away from all devices with no interaction.
What Should Happen?
After 10+ hours of inactivity, a rolling 5-hour usage window should read approximately 0%. Usage should only increase in response to actual user-initiated requests.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
- Use Claude normally, reaching ~46% of the 5-hour window
- Stop all activity and go to sleep (~10 hours of inactivity across all devices)
- Wake up and check claude.ai Settings > Usage
- Observe 36% usage despite the rolling window having fully expired
- Do a small amount of work, bring usage to ~46%
- Step away from all devices again (no interaction)
- Return and observe usage has climbed to 52% without any activity

Additional Information
Expected Behavior
After 10+ hours of inactivity, a rolling 5-hour window should read approximately 0%. Usage should only increase in response to actual user-initiated requests.
Actual Behavior
36% usage after a full overnight idle period. An additional unexplained 6% increase during a subsequent idle period with zero interaction.
Additional Context
Account sharing ruled out: active sessions show only my own devices, all from Frankfurt am Main, Germany (screenshot attached).
No MCP servers, integrations, connectors, or browser extensions configured.
Local Claude Code logs (~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl) show no requests during the overnight period.
No cron jobs, CI pipelines, or automation tasks on this account.
This matches the pattern in #41084, #41930, and #38335. The 36% figure surviving a full window reset points to a server-side metering bug, not anything client-side. Contacted support via support.claude.com — informed they cannot access server-side logs.
