When it happened? When switched an existing chat with Opus 4.7 1M to Sonnet 4.6 and the context was more than 200k. After that I applied multiple steps to overcome this issue for example,

  1. I tried to reopen the app,
  2. created new chat session, changed model
  3. clicked on upgrade and bought $5 credit (even if extra usage credit balance worth $140 is already there)
  4. Uninstalled the Claude Code app and reinstalled again.

None of the above steps worked and now, it is not allowing me to use Claude Code at all.

What Should Happen?

It should have gracefully allowed switching to the model with lower context. Or at least it should have allowed to create new session and use it in regular way.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by addressing the "Usage limit is reached" error, possibly by properly handling context size when switching between models.

Guidance

  • Verify that the context size is indeed the cause of the issue by checking if switching to a model with a lower context limit resolves the problem.
  • Check the Anthropic API documentation to see if there are any specific guidelines for handling context size when switching models.
  • Consider implementing a check for the usage limit before attempting to switch models, and provide a clear error message or prompt to the user if the limit is reached.
  • Review the code that handles model switching to ensure it properly resets or updates the context size when switching to a new model.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code details.

Notes

The issue may be related to how the Claude Code app handles context size when switching between models, but without more information about the code or the Anthropic API, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user may need to find a way to reduce the context size or increase the usage limit to resolve the issue, possibly by purchasing more credits or optimizing the model switching process.
