What's Wrong?
My weekly limit reset at 07:38 this morning. Even though it is actually supposed to reset at 07:00. At 07:40 it had reached it's 5 hour limit and told me it had used 21% of Fable 5.1. This is a serious blocking bug and now makes Claude Code unusable.
I restarted Claude Code and still the same issue.
What Should Happen?
It should not reach its 5 hour limit after 2 minutes and spend 21% of Fable 5.1!!
