  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Unlike any duplicates I've seen: Somehow I was able to use 45% usage in ~2mins?

Servers are hitting back with rate limits("Server is temporarily limiting requests (not your usage limit)") - maybe a correlation? I tried sending the same message over and over until it let me. My guess is that when I get hit back with "Server is temporarily limiting requests (not your usage limit)" it still counts towards my cache on their side stats-wise.

2nd time this has happened, first block I wasn't looking at the usage and was just weirded out by the fact that it happened but second time I tracked it and literally seen it with my own eyes.

Usage per ccusage:

Window 1 — 07:00 → 12:00 UTC (closed 09:49, ~2h 49m active)

  • Entries: 205

  • Input tokens: 1,479

  • Output tokens: 192,746

  • Cache creation: 1,292,826

  • Cache reads: 24,236,190

  • Total: 25,723,241

  • Models: claude-opus-4-7

Window 2 — 12:00 → 17:00 UTC (active, 1h 4m in)

  • Entries: 83

  • Input tokens: 185

  • Output tokens: 47,228

  • Cache creation: 1,195,294

  • Cache reads: 21,942,701

  • Total: 23,185,408

  • Model: claude-opus-4-7

What Should Happen?

I shouldn't be able to hit limits with such low usage stats. Nowhere near.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by optimizing cache creation and reads to reduce the load on the Anthropic API, potentially by implementing a caching mechanism or adjusting the request frequency.

Guidance

  • Review the cache creation and read statistics to identify patterns or anomalies that may be contributing to the rate limit errors.
  • Consider implementing a caching mechanism to reduce the number of cache creations and reads, such as storing frequently accessed data locally.
  • Adjust the request frequency to the Anthropic API to avoid overwhelming the server and triggering rate limit errors.
  • Investigate the difference in behavior between the current and previous versions of Claude Code to identify potential regression causes.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to API usage and caching, and the solution requires a high-level understanding of the system architecture.

Notes

The provided information suggests that the issue is related to the Anthropic API's rate limiting, but the root cause is unclear. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause and develop a comprehensive solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by optimizing cache creation and reads, as the root cause of the issue is unclear and may require further investigation to resolve permanently.
