What's Wrong?
I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet (related: #11796, now locked)
Claude Code displays the warning "Wöchentliches Nutzungslimit fast erreicht"
("Weekly usage limit almost reached") even though the detailed usage panel
clearly shows only 26% of the weekly limit has been consumed.
What Should Happen?
The warning should only appear when actually approaching the weekly limit.
Error Messages/Logs

The 26% and the warning are probably pointing at two different limits, which is what makes it look contradictory.
Your panel shows three separate meters: the 5-hour limit (31%), the weekly "all models" pool (26%), and a per-model line (Sonnet only: 0%). What it does not show is a separate per-model weekly limit for the model you're actually on — Opus 4.8. With the recent move to per-model weekly limits, Opus has its own weekly cap, distinct from (and smaller than) the all-models pool — and on priority mode with heavy Opus use, that's the one that fills first.
So the most likely reading — I can't see the internals, so treat this as inference from your own panel, not fact — is that the "weekly limit almost reached" banner is keyed to the Opus-specific weekly limit, which isn't surfaced in this summary, while the 26% you're reading is the all-models weekly, a different meter. Two different numbers, so both can be true at once.
Quick check to confirm on your end: run
/usage(or/status) and look specifically for an Opus weekly line. If that one is near its cap while "all models" sits at 26%, that's the answer — it's accurate, just under-explained. If there's genuinely no Opus weekly meter anywhere near its limit, then it's a real display bug (banner firing off a stale/wrong threshold) and worth keeping open with that detail.The summary showing "Sonnet only" but no "Opus only" line is itself part of the confusion here — the meter that would explain the banner is the one that's missing from the view.
There is no Sonnet/Opus weekly limit in Pro subscription only weekly and 5h limits in general and this still shows up.

Probably warning related to Opus 5 usage. But /status do not show limit near.
Opus5.5 just launched. Claude suggested me to use new model when I opened new session. There was a banner about a promotion reseting usage if you change to Opus5.5. New sessions using Opus 5.5 do not show usage warning.
I have Max.
Do I have a limit for Opus 5? If I have, why is not shown at /status.
