What's Wrong?
When I hit my session limit, Claude code (TUI and VScode extension) will show a reset time about 5 hours in the future. This is often different from that shown on the claude.ai web interface, with the reset time shown on claude.ai usually being 1. sooner and 2. correct.
What Should Happen?
The reset time shown should be consistent with the web UI and correct.

Those might be related but they are not duplicates.
also it seems like they maaaay have just fixed this today. but imma wait a few days to make sure the fix sticks before I close this
this bug still exits, I use the pro plan, after limit reached, it shows "resets 12pm", which is 12 hours later, impossible! also inconsistent with web
I am getting the same error with the Pro plan. Session limit reached - reset at 3 pm. Any update on this, please
Note that there's a 5-hourly limit and a weekly limit (both of which I've genuinely run into), though the inconsistency bug is still present regardless.

What happened to me today was that I reached the 5-hour limits that expires at 4pm and I also reached weekly limits that expires at 7pm (very unlikely to happen at the same time I guess?), and claude console keeps reporting "resets 4pm" after 4pm and before 7pm.
