[BUG] Claude Code Pro: Daily limit exhausted after ~10 simple questions despite 50% weekly boost

What's Wrong?
I renewed my Claude Code Pro subscription. After ~10 simple questions
(no coding, just Q&A), my 5 hour session limit was full in 40 minutes.
I still have 19% weekly limit remaining (50% boost is active till Sept 13),
but the 5 hour limit keeps running out far too quickly. I've been using claude code for a while now but this is really weird.
This doesn't seem normal. Can you check if there's a token usage issue?
What Should Happen?
If there is any issue with the token usage, please resolve it.
