What's Wrong?

Bug Description

Every month at the billing reset date, Claude Code immediately starts returning a 400 error claiming the workspace usage limit has been reached — despite the console showing significant budget remaining and the account being on Tier 4.

This has happened for at least two consecutive months (April and May 2026), each time blocking access until the next monthly reset.

API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"You have reached your specified workspace API usage limits. You will regain access on 2026-06-01 at 00:00 UTC."},"request_id":"req_011CahTT19rCWDmWQPwbYb7s"}

Environment Info

  • Platform: Windows (VS Code extension)
  • Usage tier: Tier 4

Actual Behavior

Every single command fails with a 400 invalid_request_error claiming usage limits have been reached. This happens instantly at the start of each new billing cycle, not after heavy usage.

Additional Context

  • The console does not show any workspace-level spend cap that would explain this
  • Even non-API commands like claude config list fail with this error
  • This is a recurring issue, not a one-time occurrence — it happened identically in April 2026 (reset May 1) and again in May 2026 (reset June 1)
  • Related issues: #1047, #2127, #12698

Request ID for investigation: req_011CahTT19rCWDmWQPwbYb7s

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should work normally. The console clearly shows $223.08 of $3,000 spent — well within limits. The workspace has no custom spend limit set below the org limit.

Error Messages/Logs

API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"You have reached your specified workspace API usage limits. You will regain access on 2026-06-01 at 00:00 UTC."},"request_id":"req_011CahU6rndKYZR7CLuVEPCC"}

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Wait for monthly billing cycle to reset
  2. Attempt any Claude Code command (even claude config list)
  3. Immediately receive 400 error citing workspace usage limits

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be related to a misaligned billing cycle or usage tracking in the Claude Code API, causing it to incorrectly report reaching the workspace usage limit at the start of each new billing cycle.

Guidance

  • Review the related issues (#1047, #2127, #12698) to see if they provide any insight into the problem or potential fixes.
  • Verify that the workspace usage limits are correctly configured in the console and that there are no hidden spend caps that could be triggering the error.
  • Test non-API commands like claude config list at different times during the billing cycle to see if the error is consistently reproducible.
  • Consider reaching out to the developers or support team with the provided request ID (req_011CahTT19rCWDmWQPwbYb7s) for further investigation into the API error.

Notes

The issue seems to be recurring and specific to the billing cycle reset, which suggests a potential issue with how the API tracks or resets usage limits. Without more information about the API's internal workings or access to the code, it's difficult to provide a more specific fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the recurring nature of the issue and its relation to the billing cycle, it might be necessary to implement a temporary workaround, such as manually resetting or checking the usage limits at the start of each billing cycle, until a permanent fix can be found.
