What's Wrong?

Plan: Pro Claude Code version: 2.1.116 Install method: Standalone binary and npx (both reproduce) OS: Mac Tahoe 24.6

<img width="694" height="595" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b77233d3-2b54-402c-89a5-3ea2a59ac352" />

What's wrong: Claude Code CLI reports "usage limit reached" and refuses to accept prompts, but the usage dashboard at claude.ai shows 689/200k tokens used (0%). The web interface (claude.ai) works normally. Switching from the standalone binary to npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code produces the same result. Steps to reproduce:

Open Claude Code CLI Attempt any prompt Receive usage limit error Check claude.ai/settings/usage — shows 0% quota consumed

Expected behavior: CLI should function normally given 0% quota usage. Actual behavior: CLI is blocked. Web interface is unaffected. Screenshot: [attached — shows dashboard at 689/200k alongside CLI error] Notes: This appears consistent with the server-side invisible token inflation bug reported in #38335 and #41930, where quota is consumed without being reflected in the dashboard.

What Should Happen?

CLI should function normally given 0% quota usage.

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to wait for a resolution to the server-side invisible token inflation bug, as the issue appears consistent with previously reported bugs #38335 and #41930.

Guidance

  • Verify that the quota usage on the dashboard at claude.ai/settings/usage remains at 0% when attempting to use the CLI, to confirm the discrepancy between the dashboard and the CLI error message.
  • Check the Anthropic API status for any known issues or maintenance that may be causing the problem.
  • Attempt to use a different model, such as a non-default model, to see if the issue is specific to the Sonnet model.
  • Monitor the GitHub issues #38335 and #41930 for updates on the server-side invisible token inflation bug, as a resolution to this bug may fix the issue.

Notes

The issue appears to be related to a server-side bug, and therefore may not be resolvable through local configuration changes or code updates. The user may need to wait for a resolution to the underlying bug.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Wait for a resolution to the server-side invisible token inflation bug, and monitor the GitHub issues #38335 and #41930 for updates. This is because the issue appears consistent with previously reported bugs, and a resolution to this bug may fix the issue.
