[Bug] Anthropic API Error: 429 rate-limit errors persist despite available quota on Max plan
Bug Description
Persistent 429 rate-limit errors on Max plan despite dashboard showing available quota
I'm on the Max plan and getting persistent HTTP 429 rate_limit_error ("This request would exceed your account's rate limit") even though my usage dashboard shows plenty of headroom.
At the time of the 429 errors, /status shows:
Current session: 4% used
Weekly: 67% used
Details:
This happens across three separate machines on different home networks, no proxy — limiting is account-level, not network.
It persists across models (switching model doesn't help).
I've already killed all orphaned claude processes, checked for stray ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, disabled unused MCP servers, run claude logout/login, and cleared ~/.claude/cache on all machines. Still 429.
Rate-limit window reset times have long passed, but the 429s continue — so this is not normal quota exhaustion.
This looks like the hidden rate-limit issue reported in GitHub #22876 (dashboard shows available quota, API still returns 429).
