Bug Description
My 5hr usage jumped from 0% to 100% within seconds of the usage limit reset. Weekly limit usage jumped from 53% to 67% in the same period of time. Not a single request went through, Claude Code only managed to run ONE small bash script before hitting its limit.
For context:
- I had a long running session, with a /goal set
- The session got blocked on the 5hr usage limit, at ~50% session context utilization of Fable 5.1
- Claude Code said it will auto-continue once the limit is reset
- The limit reset
- Claude immediately resumed the session, ran a simple bash script
- Claude hit the 5hr limit again, immediately as the bash script completed (~5 seconds after it was reset)
- Also, the weekly limit usage jumped from 53% to 67% in the same amount of time, losing 14% in seconds.
So in effect, I lost 100% of my 5hr limit and 14% of my Weekly limit on the Max Team plan - in roughly ~5 seconds by running a simple bash script.
