Hello, From yesterday my 5 hour limit is finishing way too quickly in my 100$ claude code plan. Not sure why that's happening, I also have the clau.de/cc-50-promo promo enabled. I noticed this started happening after this incident: https://status.claude.com/incidents/mgp99sn4ynd4

It's happening on the free plan too. I was told to wait 5 hours, but when I came back and asked a single question, it instantly locked me out again with another 5-hour wait message.

Yes, it happened to me too. Yesterday claude showed me that I had exhausted my weekly limit, so I tried to add new credits, paid, but still couldn't use it.

Surprisingly, it's working today. My weekly limit is supposed to reset in 11 hours from now, but it's working now.

Did you managed to use it for couple of hours? which model + effort you are using?

I was comfortably using opus + xhigh without getting any session exhaustion
