What's Wrong?

Bug Description

Claude Code is consuming "Zusätzliche Nutzung" (extra usage / pay-as-you-go credits) even though my weekly plan limits are far from exhausted.

Evidence

  • Weekly plan usage: 27% (All Models), 0% (Sonnet), 0% (Claude Design)
  • Current session usage: 0%
  • Extra usage spent: €42.10 / €43.00 (99%) — this should not have been touched

Environment

  • Plan: Pro (Max 5x)
  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
  • **Claude Code version: 2.1.98 (Claude Code)
  • Model used: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context)
  • Terminal: Ghostty

What Should Happen?

Extra usage credits should only be consumed after the weekly plan limit is reached, not while it's at 27%.

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by reviewing the usage patterns and limits of the Claude Code Pro plan to ensure that the "Zusätzliche Nutzung" (extra usage) credits are only consumed after the weekly plan limit is reached.

Guidance

  • Verify the current usage and limits of the Claude Code Pro plan to understand why the extra usage credits are being consumed at 27% usage.
  • Check if there are any hidden or additional costs associated with using the Claude Opus 4.6 model that might be contributing to the extra usage credits being consumed.
  • Review the Anthropic API documentation to see if there are any specific settings or configurations that need to be adjusted to ensure that extra usage credits are only consumed after the weekly plan limit is reached.
  • Consider reaching out to the Claude Code support team to investigate this issue further and determine the root cause of the problem.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the usage patterns and limits of the Claude Code Pro plan, and it's unclear what specific changes were made in the previous version that worked. Without more information, it's difficult to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Review and adjust the usage patterns and limits of the Claude Code Pro plan to ensure that extra usage credits are only consumed after the weekly plan limit is reached, as the root cause of the issue is unclear.
