Weekly usage metered ~4x too fast after weekly reset on account upgraded from Max 5x to 20x (fixed by /logout + re-login)
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.201
- Platform: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
- Plan: Claude Max (claude.ai shows "Max 20x", but another device showed "Max 5x" for the same account — see below)
Bug Description
Weekly usage quota was consumed roughly 4–8x faster than normal after a weekly reset,
until I logged out and back in. The consumption rate then returned to normal.
Details
- Account history: the account was originally on Max 5x and was later upgraded to Max 20x mid-cycle.
The accelerated consumption started immediately after the first weekly reset following the upgrade —
consistent with the quota being metered against the old 5x tier after the reset.
- Before the reset, with the same usage pattern, reaching 100% of the weekly limit
took approximately 14.6M tokens of Fable 5 usage.
- Immediately after the weekly reset, I confirmed usage was at 0%.
- After only about 1.5M tokens of Fable 5 usage, the meter showed
Fable 5: 81% / overall weekly: 51% — roughly 4–8x faster consumption
than before the reset, with no change in how I was using it.
- Possibly related: the plan display is inconsistent across surfaces —
claude.ai shows Max 20x, while another device showed Max 5x
for the same account. This suggests the quota may have been metered
against the 5x tier instead of 20x.
- Workaround: running
/logoutand logging back in restored the normal
consumption rate.
Steps to Reproduce
Not reliably reproducible; occurred right after a weekly usage reset.
- Be on a Max 20x plan (upgraded from Max 5x) around a weekly reset boundary.
- Use Claude Code normally after the reset.
- Observe the weekly usage meter climbing far faster than token usage justifies.
Expected Behavior
Weekly usage should be metered against the Max 20x quota consistently,
matching pre-reset consumption rates for the same workload.
Actual Behavior
Usage was consumed ~4–8x faster until /logout + re-login.
Additional Context
- Impact: Because the weekly Fable 5 quota is consumed ~4x too fast, I am effectively
unable to use Fable 5 for most of the week despite paying for Max 20x.

/statusshows only "Claude Max account" and does not indicate the 5x/20x tier,
so I could not confirm from the CLI which tier the quota is being metered against.
