What's Wrong?

This may be a dupe of https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/5001 and https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/3857, but both got closed (hilariously saying each is a dupe of the other, not leaving either open)

  1. I use Opus 1m context on some claude terminals, on one of my accounts (it's a company Teams account)
  2. I run out of usage (reach 100%), my terminals stop with "hit limit" type error so I logout using one of the terminals
  3. I login using my personal Max account (it has 0% usage, it's a fresh session)
  4. On the other terminals I just say "carry on", and they carry on with the tasks
  5. They all immediately stop and say "hit limit" again! Usage for my personal account reaches 100% instantly!

Now, this did not used to happen I remember I time I could easily do this, it used to work perfectly, I'd hit my limit on one account so switch to the other - no problems.

The timing of this bug exactly started at the exact same time as: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/39841. I think the two bugs are related (or just correspond to the same release).

What Should Happen?

Usage doesn't immediately hit 100% after switching accounts

  3. I login using my personal Max account (it has 0% usage, it's a fresh session)

  5. They all immediately stop and say "hit limit" again! Usage for my personal account reaches 100% instantly!

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by investigating the relation between the current bug and the one reported in https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/39841, as they seem to be related and occurred at the same time.

Guidance

  • Review the changes introduced around the time of https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/39841 to understand potential causes for the regression.
  • Test the scenario with different account setups to confirm if the issue is specific to the combination of company Teams account and personal Max account.
  • Investigate the usage tracking mechanism to see if there's an unexpected carryover of usage limits between accounts or sessions.
  • Consider reaching out to the developers or maintainers of Claude Code to report this regression and inquire about potential fixes or workarounds, given the similarity in timing with another issue.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is not immediately clear without more technical details about the Claude Code version 2.1.114 and the Anthropic API. The relation to https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/39841 suggests a potential starting point for investigation.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the regression nature of the issue and its apparent relation to another bug, applying a workaround or seeking a fix from the developers seems prudent. The reason is that the issue did not exist in previous versions, and its occurrence coincides with another reported problem, suggesting a recent change might be the cause.
