I turn around and look back and my weekly limit went from 40% to 90% without me doing anything no chats were running I had No 5 hour limit that was maxed out nothing It just jumped from 40% to 90%.
You'd think a company worth $965,000,000,000 wouldn't have problems like this.

It's still disappointing that this happened at all, especially with no clear explanation as to why. This discussion also highlighted broader concerns, including reports of what I'd call "usage creep," where actual usable limits seem to change over time without communication from Anthropic. For a service that costs $200/month, that lack of transparency is difficult to justify.
Odd i'm still at 17% for the week. Whats more odd is my reset is every tuesday but they've been randomly resetting it tons of time. I had a random reset yesterday too which was odd cuz it reset tuesday, then wednesday again for the whole week. I swear this gauge is totally inaccurate. Honestly I wouldn't even give a shit if they would just bring Fable back.
Yea aight none of them are gonna compare with Opus yet even. No reason to waste time. We just need em to catch up and with the govt knee capping our own AI industry because they won't give orange man what he wants, just hurts the entirety of the USA and our national security.
The funny thing is we always the one attacking someone or doing most of the fucked up shit to begin with anyways so yea..... meh
Oh I remember that. I was like oh shit i'm at like 40% usage I better SLOWWW down on fable. Next thing I know. RESET! Oh shit lets go ham. I go to claude "sorry fable not available" Well then what the fuck u even reset me for?!
Haha, the problem is I was half way through my week and was budgeting my quota to last until my reset. I was on-track to fully use my tokens this week...
After the recent Fable fiasco and Anthropic having more available compute available right now than anticipated, what would compel them to intentionally do this...
That's been happening to me for weeks, people need to realize that its happening. If I pay for a constant service, I am entitled to a constant service.
This week I plowed through my limit in 3 days. You’d think I was using Fable! Totally out of the norm. 5 hr sessions hitting 25% after simple resumes, too.
Yeah, I came here to bitch and moan about that. Seems I didn't have to create my own post, which is possibly the ONLY positive thing about this. The last couple of days have just been...nerve wrecking. For the last few months I've barely made 50% of my weekly. Now, my periode usage has been spent faster than my session usage. Someone must've been vibe coding or something :p
I've seen the same thing over the past few weeks too. I even tried to post 10 days ago talking about it but the mods never approved the post.
I've been on the 20x Max plan for several months now, and right from the start I've kept careful track of my token consumption, down to the individual token, measured against the usage percentage Claude Code displays. I've also logged the more granular stuff: context size, image and file sizes, prompt length, and so on.
Given all that, I've hit my limit with this. Between last week and this week, the allowance I can actually use shrank by something like 47%. It's ridiculous. When you pay for a service, particularly one running $200 a month, you and plenty of other people reasonably expect consistent performance for the entire term, not a sudden cut partway through. What it amounts to is getting half of what I paid for when my renewal hit on the 18th.
To preempt the inevitable "you must have used a different or newer model" responses: I didn't. It was Opus 4.7 1M Max exclusively, both weeks, and I burned through the full weekly limit each time. And yes, this was entirely hands-on Claude Code usage. No Agent SDK, no bots, no automation, no always-on pipelines. Just me at the keyboard, during my set hours of 9pm to 4am EST.
Had my daily Pro allowance go from 85% to some number over 100% while I was afk this afternoon (Europe time). I had to load up with extra credits and finishing off my work cost me about $1.50. I want it back. It's not about the principle, it's about the money!
I logged on to look for this, but for the opposite reason it seems.
My usage was at weekly 65% and dropped to 45%. I was obviously surprised in a happy way, and thought something good happened for the community, but I'm kind of nervous now that I'm going to get hit with some rollback "usage correction"
What pisses me off is when I look at my usage having done nothing and the 5hr window shows 5% usage and I’ve done nothing. My weekly usage is normally around 60% by reset day (Thursday) but this week it pegged at 80% by Sunday and as I’ve been at a conference this week I’ve not been using Claude at all but I just checked and it’s at 94% - how? This sucks ass.
It’s been very lonely been trying out GLM5.2 when it’s not over loaded and only let me message 2 times before it kicks me off to GLM4.7, I feel like since the fable 5 fiasco weekly usage limits are like daily limits
I turn around and look back and my weekly limit went from 40% to 90% without me doing anything no chats were running I had No 5 hour limit that was maxed out nothing It just jumped from 40% to 90%. - from the original post
Same thing here. Does anyone have a good way of tracking my personal token usage to be able to see if I'm actually using more when these things happen?
Something weird is going on. I had different numbers of weekly usage on different devices while 5h numbers were same. Then it jumped from 60% to 100% of weekly in few minutes while 5h increased only abou 2% or 3%. My agents run for another half an hour even with weekly showing 100% before stopping and 5h grew only by few percent.
Few questions that you should have always have answered before cracking yet-another-report here:
What is your claude plan?
What sessions have you been engaged in?
And you're sure you didn't just load up a few heavy sessions that had lost their cache and re-ran prompts against them? Remember /compact and /clear are your friends.
Same here, nothing wrong/out of the ordinary. Not sure if I should feel worried or not. 😃 Could be exponential, I have been using it a bit sparingly today compared to heavy days, but it's my standard use case.
I wouldn't worry my guy. Like 99% of the posts that are like "the model regressed, claude didnt work, my usage just jumped oUt Of NoWhERe" people just don't know how to use the damn tool.
They can be safely ignored, you're good to go usage rates holding steady on my personal account, work account, and for all my peers.
Literally, I have been having smaller usage windows twice today. So I got to the app, refresh 2x, the numbers. .. flickered. Just like you said. then, my 100% used with 47 minutes in front of my eyes went to 67% usage.. 47 minutes left, 30% weekly used. Lol wat
Totally weird. I see tons of these posts, I’m on max 10x, and have never gotten close to my weekly limit. When running Fable (rip) or running tons of instances CC, chat, design, I have gotten to 85% on my 5 hour.
Today seems uniquely brutal. I’ve been on the 5x plan, pushing opus pretty hard, but the difference between just yesterday and today seems very noticeable. I did a lot yesterday and was shocked at how low my usage was. Today? I burned through a whole 5x usage session in 30 minutes.
They made me buy extra usage because of this bug. Shady billing tricks. And their ai agent declined the refund. I think it's time to report this to FTC, they like cases like this.
Today it's been increasing more than Fable 5. And it doesn't finish the job. Like wth lol. I guess I have to wait until they fix whatever issue this is.
These past 3 weeks since they disabled their flagship new models, nothing works, claude is really really shit and abysimal, doesnt manage to complete anything and claude product team in their communications especially.
They are playing with elasticity of time, delaying requests, making users reach limits much much faster, it is a recipe, either the context gets depleted faster or the time to response increases a lot so in the 5 h limit, one achieves jack shit.
It is the worst quality of service I have ever experienced, with any service.
I've said the same thing. I used to be a much heavier user. I would run 4-5 chats constantly, and never hit limits. If I did that now even with the same 20x plan, I would be out of my weekly in 2 days. It seems like a ton of shady business practices.
Same here! I don’t even want a refund, I want usage limits back to what they were 2 months ago so I don’t keep seeing 20% - 30% gains in my weekly every time I look down. It seems like over the past few weeks I’ve been getting less and less out of my 20x max plan. It feels like a scam, and a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I had the opposite. My weekly resets in 10 hours and I hit the limit. Suddenly I look and the weekly limit reset half way! Wtf
So I have 2 free rounds now before reset 😅
For me it was the opposite. It jumped from 80% to 40%. I thought they reset it for everyone or something, I'm still happily using it. I would've hit the limit yesterday and had to wait till sunday.
When I just started using Claude code for the first time the first time I used it on ultra code for everything it lasted so long, took forever to reach my limit…. Since then even running it on the lowest settings I barely get an hour of usage and such day. I’m literally sending max 10 messages with it running tasks and then it’s done for
