[BUG] 5 hour usage limit reached - but I have not used Claude in over a day

What's Wrong?

I opened claude, sent one message and get several Api errors and then it quickly says I have maxed out usage. I have the Max plan, it;s impossible a single message would have maxed out the 5 hour limit, given I have not used Claude on any devide since yesterday. I added some credit and then asked Claude Code itself to find any traces of heavy usage, but it said it did not. And yet the usage limit is still there.

What Should Happen?

Limit should reflect actual usage
