What's Wrong?

Seems to be another change in 5 hour usage limits.

My usage hit the maximum within 40 mins of the start of a 5 hour window just from running 1 terminal window for work that could not be considered heavy duty.

An absolute joke to spend €200 per month but need to wait more than 4 hours between sessions.

What Should Happen?

Be able to work.

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by adjusting usage patterns to avoid hitting the 5-hour usage limit or exploring options to increase the limit.

Guidance

  • Review the Anthropic API documentation to understand the current usage limits and pricing model.
  • Consider optimizing the workflow to reduce the load on Claude Code, potentially by batching tasks or using more efficient commands.
  • If the usage limit is indeed the cause, look into upgrading the plan or contacting support to discuss possible limit increases.
  • Verify the actual usage patterns to ensure they align with the expected "non-heavy duty" workload.

Notes

The provided information lacks specific details on the usage patterns and the exact changes in the 5-hour usage limits, making it challenging to provide a precise fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust usage patterns to avoid hitting the limit, as the current information does not imply a direct code fix or an available version upgrade that addresses this issue.
