[BUG] Session limit reached - reset time inconsistent with that shown on claude.ai

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

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.

Error Messages/Logs

Claude code:
Session limit reached ∙ resets 6pm

https://claude.ai/:
Session limit reached ∙ resets 2:00 PM

Steps to Reproduce

1. Hit your session limit
2. Try to send a message to claude code
3. Try to send a message to claude.ai
4. Compare reset time in claude code to that in claude.ai
5. Try sending messages to both when the earlier reset time passes
