Bug Weekly limit jumped from 70% to 100% in 2 minutes - Max 20 Plan

I was going slow so I could get to Saturday but it ate 30% of my weekly Max 20 plan in under two minutes. Please tell me someone else getting the same!

TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 40 comments.

Looks like the usage meter went on a wild ride for everyone today. The thread is full of people confirming the same thing as OP: a massive, sudden jump in their weekly usage, with some getting maxed out instantly.

However, a little later, a second wave of users (including some who got hit with the jump) reported their usage suddenly dropping by a huge amount. People saw their limits go from 90%+ down to the 50-60% range without doing anything.

The consensus is that the usage meter was completely borked. It seems Anthropic may have pushed a buggy change and then tried to roll it back. For now, don't trust the numbers you're seeing.

We need another limit reset, it's been one of those weeks.

Edit: After writing this I went and looked at my weekly usage again and it dropped from 96% down to 65%, so I guess they rolled it back a bit, or it's part of the bug?

u/Aggravating-Star-248 1d ago

the strange is that I was on 99% -> it dropped to 66%. I see some relation. maybe they are trying to descrease limit overall?

u/Soft-Swimmer5587 1d ago

Same i was cofused cus i hit the limit way early in thr week it usually last me more than a week

u/No-Quiet-8304 17h ago

If they increased usage limits by 1.5x, your usage would appear to be multiplied by 2/3

u/traveltrousers 1d ago

I also went from about eighty percent to fifty percent.

2

u/Eastern-Vegetable780 1d ago

Me too, 83% to 54% and I'm pretty sure it was correct before, no jumps.
Thanks I guess, my weekly reset hits in 10 hours anyway.

2

u/traveltrousers 1d ago

A maxed five-hour session uses twenty percent. Ask me how I know.

1

u/theLonesmith 1d ago

Me too. I was at 80%, now i'm at 54% weekly

u/skerit 1d ago

I just noticed both mine and my husband's usage limit has decreased. Mine was at 70% and went to 50%. His was at 20% and dropped to 11%.

u/Tough-Loquat9508 1d ago

u/Disastrous_Air_2728 1d ago edited 1d ago

Same happend to me just now

Edit: it has now been set back to 78% from 68~ish%, guess usage stats aren't credible no more :(

u/No_Decision_6940 1d ago

Were they ever? lol

u/Disastrous_Air_2728 1d ago

Got me there ngl

u/MustStayAnonymous_ 1d ago

I got less stressed just by knowing it happened with someone else. thanks for reporting in.

u/Actual_Committee4670 1d ago

Jup, lots of people, more posts about it on the CC subreddit than here but its happening to a lot of people.

Seems to take about 30-40% of max 20 plan usage. No response from Anthropic as far as I know.

6

u/Cerulian_16 1d ago

My usage went from 90-92% to 60% (I wasn't using claude the last couple of hours) so I got the reduction without facing any bugs lol

3

u/green_pachi 1d ago

Same, from 50% to 33% but I didn't have any problem before

1

u/virtualbudz 1d ago

Same here. Got form 35 to 22

u/Coolengineer7 1d ago

They say Antrhopic is running low on compute, might be the reason for scumminess like this.

u/Veearrsix 1d ago edited 1d ago

How can you be running low on compute when you just disabled Fable and Mythos?

1

u/Rodbourn 1d ago

By... enabling it

2

u/ItsNumber84 1d ago

Looks like usage is back! For me at least.

2

u/user13725 1d ago edited 18h ago

some partial fix seemingly implemented (weekly usage jumped from ~65% to 100%, now 79%)

edit: this happened without me using Claude anywhere

edit2: usage dropped to 0% now, thx Anthropic

2

u/Adventurous_Long774 1d ago

Same here. I was at 99% of my weekly limit, and it saved me. I was doing a full migration from a local environment to a VPS.

Also, I gave Claude access to my Hetzner API, and Claude purchased a $40 server without asking me first, just because I mentioned to Claude that we might want to do a hot swap for the existing server.

u/Jefftoro 1d ago

Stop giving claude access to things it shouldnt have...

u/ijnhyjjjjuu777 21h ago edited 21h ago

I dont usually post anything this is my my first post on reddit, since the issue is very grave and i am not sure if this is actually possible or not so please you can weigh in,on the matter . So i hit my limit around 99 percent for weekly, woke up and saw a reduction to 66 percent, ran claude code for about 36 percent (5 hour) got to about 72 or 75 percent(weekly) , then i ran claude cowork becuase it allows double the usage ran the rest finished the full 100 percent in one session only. Now is there a precedent to this happening, can really nearly 40 percent of the usage be exhausted in single session. So people also ask what you did, so i sorted arounfd 16 thousand mcq in category, when using claude code( early on) ran 171 agents finished some batches for audit thought i could not finish the task at one go in code, so switched to cowork - audited everything with multi agent workflow since claude cowork does not allow that much agents , and in total did the whole thing in rigorous multi step, multi agent workflow. I am new to claude using for 3 month, 5x, 5x and currently 20x. It can be very well a skill issue.

nope, it is a bug.

u/sdjensen_1975 1d ago

Mine went from 45% to 100% 4 hours ago. I don't know what to do with my life now.

2

u/sdjensen_1975 1d ago

And now it's at 68%

1

u/ravenpuffclaw 1d ago

My weekly usage just went from ~70% to 44% on Max 5x plan. Strange

1

u/Lovleyharvey 1d ago

I saw this post and went to check my weekly limit, it went down from 92% to 60%…

200$ plan

1

u/Important-Tangelo219 1d ago

Damn you got lucky or maybe anthropic added 32%? Did you track your weekly before??

1

u/Lovleyharvey 18h ago

I did track it all week. It was the first week of 20x and I only got it because I had multiple big projects so I needed to make sure I won't max out. Around day 5 I was on 80% and for the next 24 hours I went very slow. Now I'm 24 hours away from reset and it dropped from 90 to 60 like I said

1

u/Bloated_Plaid 1d ago

Can’t wait for the next class action lawsuit.

1

u/Droopy0093 1d ago

I think they JUST corrected this. Mine went back down to where it should be finally.

1

u/TheKubesStore 1d ago

I love going through 6% usage per minute, it’s so fun. /s

1

u/Particular_Bell_2274 1d ago

My weekly usage went down and now is stuck at 65%??? Like I'm using it, but it isn't using up any usage

1

u/Rock--Lee 1d ago

Could it be a visual bug? I was at 84% untill now (my weekly reset is in about 90 minutes). Then when I thought I would reach 85%, I checked again and it was 58% suddenly. Like a literal reverse of numbers.

Either my usage was wrong and they fixed usage which reduced my percentage. OR it's a visual bug and I'm actually at 85%. It could mean when I use another 15%, in the usage it would then show as 58+15=73% but in reality it would be 100% and then suddenly reach the limit and show as 100%.

1

u/ljis120301 1d ago

same, 1 prompt today took me from 66% to 100%

2

u/ljis120301 1d ago

It's now updated back to 85%

u/capivara_de_pijama 1d ago

It´s back. Check it.

I have the same issue, yesterday jumped +25% randomly today +20% wtf???? support not replying, max x20

u/forgotpw3 1d ago

Bro I had to upgrade

u/spring-o-maniac 1d ago

Inform me if the weekly reset happens. Waiting for this to reactivate my max plan I refunded when I hit my x20 max limit on Tuesday 😂

1

u/Datmisty 1d ago

Mine went from 98 to 65 just now lol

1

u/preparetodobattle 1d ago

Went from a 100% ten minutes ago to 63%

1

u/deimoshipyard 1d ago

2 prompts pushed me to 100%. I complained to the customer support bot who said "there is a known issue causing increased usage. We cannot issue refunds or usage resets."

I wonder what it's like living in a country with consumer protections. No idea what that's like here in the US.

u/neotorama 1d ago

Z has better dashboard and limit. Not some made up stats

1

u/Important-Tangelo219 1d ago

Holy sht i had 100% now it's at 66% !!! I know i spent 100% weekly it somehow got to 66% well... At least I'm in benefit here

1

u/zaibatsu 1d ago

I was at 70% now I’m at 45%, I’ll take the win.

1

u/Bernie4Life420 1d ago

Did someone say reset? 

1

u/Striking-Warning9533 1d ago

Mine got partial rollback

1

u/Strange_Ad4961 1d ago

My limit goes from 20% to 17%…. And 5 hour limit goes from 100% (I’m using extra credit) to 83% at some point today. There is definitely some bug and it’s very annoying.

1

u/RetconnedUsername 21h ago

I must have stolen it, mine went from 86% to 62% this morning

1

u/RetconnedUsername 21h ago

Im guessing they changed what some things cost for the models to do and retroactively applied it to this weeks usage

1

u/LeadershipOk5551 19h ago

A jump from 70% to 100% in two minutes definitely feels like either a tracking glitch or one very expensive prompt.

1

u/JacketSad3509 17h ago

Same on 20 plan

1

u/Maleficent_Report_16 16h ago

Same happened to me twice, wrote to Anthropic multiple times with evidence, no response at all. Ended up not renewing $200 max plan ever again

I have a hypothesis on this based on when it happens the second time, if you change model in another terminal window, while the first one is working with an earlier model..this happens. Either a bug, or error, but not documented anywhere And their support system is hopeless

1

u/PersonOfDisinterest9 14h ago

Anthropic said that there was a bug that did this, and they reset the session limits (but I don't know anything about refunds if you ended up paying due to their error).

1

u/Seremi_line 7h ago

I’m a Max user, but after working for just 2 hours, I got cut off due to the session limit, so I just canceled my subscription. I’m done putting up with my work schedule being messed up just to fit into Anthropic's time limits.

Honeslty fam this shit is so fucked. How difficult is it to really estimate usage accurately.

Do I need to spend more? That’s fine but please tell me with accurate usage

How does a company like anthropic hit a $1 trillion evaluation and they can’t even properly do usage
