claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Bug: Desktop app shows "Usage Limit Reached" incorrectly

Preflight Checklist

• 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?

The Claude Code desktop app displays a "Usage Limit Reached" message even though usage is well under limits.

• The Claude Code terminal (CLI) works fine simultaneously
• The usage settings show no limits are near full (under 50%)

What Should Happen?

The desktop app should accurately reflect the actual usage limits. It should not show a "Usage Limit Reached" error when usage is under 50% and the CLI is still functioning normally.
