What's Wrong?
Bug Report: Usage limit reset time incorrectly extended from 4 hours to
17 hours
Expected behavior:
Usage limits should reset after 4 hours as they have been doing
consistently.
Actual behavior:
After being stopped for reaching usage limit, the reset time changed from
the normal 4-hour window to showing "resets at 6am tomorrow" -
approximately 17 hours instead of 4.
Steps to reproduce:
- Used Claude Code normally until hitting usage limit
- Was stopped with message showing reset at 11am (4 hours later)
- After typing first command in new session, reset time changed to "6am
tomorrow" (17 hours)
Impact:
This significantly impacts productivity as it extends the wait time from
4 hours to 17 hours without explanation.
Additional context:
This appears to be a timing/calculation bug in the usage limit system
rather than expected behavior based on usage patterns.
What Should Happen?
I was waiting for my 11am refresh of usage typed my first command and this came up: Approaching usage limit · resets at 6am
