Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

I have two main issues - Claude is now eating into my 5hr limit quite fast, much more so than normally - after 10 min of light use it is at 23%. Also, the weekly allowance was reset earlier than scheduled. I had ca 14% left, due to be reset in ca 15 hours, but it was just reset now - at the very same time that i notice the depletion problem on the 5hour allowance. Im situated in Norway and on A claude pro plan

What Should Happen?

I expect it to deplete at a normal rate

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be related to a regression in the Claude Code version, causing abnormal depletion of the 5-hour limit and premature reset of the weekly allowance.

Guidance

  • Verify the current Claude Code version and check if updating to the latest version (>= 2.1.119) resolves the issue.
  • Monitor the usage patterns and check if the depletion rate returns to normal after updating.
  • If the issue persists, try to reproduce the problem with a specific Claude model to isolate the cause.
  • Check the Anthropics API documentation for any known issues or changes that might be affecting the Claude Code usage.

Notes

The issue lacks specific error messages or logs, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. The fact that it's a regression and worked in a previous version suggests that a version update might resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Monitor usage and update to the latest version (if not already on it), as the issue might be related to a regression in the previous version.
