What's Wrong?

I am experiencing an unusual and persistent issue where the token usage limit for Claude Code is not resetting as expected, leading to a lockout that has lasted over 24 hours.

Normally, the usage tokens seem to reset every 5 hours. However, since 4:00 PM yesterday (Wednesday, October 8th), I have been unable to use the service.

The application currently indicates that the tokens will reset at 3:00 PM today (Thursday, October 9th), which is a full 23-hour gap since I was locked out, and significantly different from the usual 5-hour cycle.

What Should Happen?

The token usage should reset approximately every 5 hours, or at minimum, the 24-hour reset limit should be correctly calculated and implemented to prevent a full-day service interruption.

Error Messages/Logs

Claude usage limit reached. Your limit will reset 
     at 3pm (America/Santiago).

Steps to Reproduce

1.-Open the terminal or the client interface where you typically interact with Claude Code (e.g., Cursor IDE's AI chat/prompt window).

2.-Attempt to send any prompt or command to Claude Code.

3.-The service immediately returns the following message, indicating the limit has been reached and the reset time is delayed/incorrect:
-Claude usage limit reached. Your limit will reset at 3pm (America/Santiago).

Context: The issue is not dependent on the content of the prompt; any attempt to utilize the service while locked out triggers this exact response. This message has persisted for almost 24 hours, despite the normal 5-hour reset cycle.
