claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Usage limit hit in ~2 minutes after 1 request [1 comments, 2 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The 5-hour usage limit is being hit unexpectedly after a single request, suggesting a potential issue with the usage tracking or limit enforcement mechanism.

Guidance

• Review the usage tracking logic to ensure it is accurately counting requests and resetting the limit as expected.
• Check for any recent changes to the Claude Code version or configuration that may have introduced this issue, given that it is reported as a regression.
• Investigate the Anthropic API documentation to see if there are any known issues or changes related to usage limits or tracking.
• Consider testing with a different model or version to isolate if the issue is specific to the Opus model or the current Claude Code version.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the implementation, but reviewing the usage tracking logic might involve checking functions or methods responsible for incrementing the usage counter and enforcing the limit.

Notes

The lack of information about the last working version and additional details limits the ability to provide a precise fix. The issue seems to be related to a regression, suggesting that comparing changes between versions might reveal the cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information provided, it's reasonable to suspect a bug in the current version of Claude Code. Until a fix is available, applying a workaround, such as manually tracking usage or using a different version if possible, might be necessary.
