maybe it's like TM, and we're not supposed to know.

for me, weekly reset is (has always been? surprisingly constant despite all the other UI/UX/model motion) 4P ET thursday, rain or shine, regardless of plan.

knowing what i know about software release cycles/superstitions/wisdom, it feels like it might be one and done. which would be nuts!

anybody know? apologies if dupe!

I believe that it's because you always start Claude at the same time. It has about 5-hour reset cycle

It's fixed per account, unlike ChatGPT's which starts when you use it.

Fun thought exercise: why would this be a terrible idea?

idk about terrible idea but it would just put a super crazy load on their servers every week at the same time, one presumes? unless they are in it for the sport. i mean, it's not like i personally am in the habit of sweating my weekly quota reset, but it happens, and i am very focused on when i can get back to it. but maybe that's not most people. sounds like it's staggered.

For me, Claude's limits have been increased by 50% till 19 August.
