What's Wrong?

My session was blocked with "You've hit your session limit" immediately when running a scheduled task, even though /usage shows only 1% of the session limit consumed, $0.0000 total cost, and 0 input/output/cache tokens used.

I attempted to resolve this by running /upgrade, which completed successfully ("Login successful"). However, immediately after upgrading, running a command still returned the same session limit error with the exact same reset time (8:10am / later 8:20am, Asia/Jakarta), indicating the block was not tied to actual usage or cleared by the upgrade.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have a scheduled task running (in my case, triggered at 3:31am Asia/Jakarta)
  2. Task fails immediately with "You've hit your session limit · resets [time] (Asia/Jakarta)"
  3. Run /upgrade — completes with "Login successful"
  4. Run a test command again — same session limit error appears, same behavior
  5. Check /usage — shows:
  • Current session: 1% used
  • Total cost: $0.0000
  • Total duration (API): 0s
  • Usage: 0 input, 0 output, 0 cache read, 0 cache write
  • Resets 8:20am (Asia/Jakarta)
  • Current week (all models): 10% used, resets Jul 14

Expected Behavior
Session should not be blocked when actual usage is 1% and cost is $0. Upgrading the plan should also immediately clear/reset the erroneous session block, per expected behavior described in issue #29223.

Actual Behavior
Session limit block persists and reappears identically even after a successful plan upgrade, with no correlation to the /usage numbers shown.

Environment

  • Interface: Claude Code CLI (scheduled task)
  • Timezone: Asia/Jakarta
  • Plan: [isi plan kamu, misal Pro/Max]
  • Date/time observed: Jul 8, 2026, ~3:28–3:32am Asia/Jakarta

Additional Context
This appears related to previously reported issues #29223, #31367, and #54750 regarding session/limit state not syncing correctly with actual usage or plan changes. Screenshots available showing the discrepancy between /usage (1% used, $0 cost) and the session block message.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should not block session usage when actual consumption is 0-1%. The session limit block should only trigger based on real usage, and upgrading the plan (via /upgrade) should immediately clear an erroneous session block instead of showing the identical error again.
