What's Wrong?

I got my session limit without using it! it hits the limit issue suddenly, more context: the first 5hrs limit resets at 12:10pm(UTC) and that's right, then at exact time of 12:10pm(utc) I tried to resume my
work and prompted "proceed" so I got the session limit issue and now it says it resets 5pm(utc) But I didn't actually used it, please fix this the soonest!

What Should Happen?

I should have a new session exactly at 12:10pm(utc) not still limited.

Steps to Reproduce

I don't have the right steps to reproduce the issue, I think it could be related to the time I tried to resume the session, it was the same time the session resets. Please check the attached screenshot.

Now, I got my session usage 100% for the 5hrs window after a couple of minutes!
But the above is a real issue and should be fixed.

I just experienced this also. How did you get it resolved?

Sorry for the late reply, it just got the new limit right after ~10 minutes.
