[BUG] Max x20: CLI still shows Rate limit reached after weekly reset time passed #26821
Closed as not planned
Description
Preflight Checklist
- I searched existing issues and did not find a precise report for this post reset behavior.
- This is a single bug report.
- I am using the latest available Claude Code version on my machine.
What Is Wrong?
This is a follow up to #26812.
The weekly reset time passed in Usage, but Claude Code CLI still returns API Error: Rate limit reached for every prompt.
Initial symptom was already reported in #26812. After waiting for the weekly reset boundary to pass, the error still persists. So this is not only a pre reset mismatch, it also continues after reset.
What Should Happen?
When the weekly reset time has passed, backend limiter state should refresh and CLI prompts should be accepted.

Error persists even in a new empty chat/session: API Error: Rate limit reached

Weekly limit appears reset in Usage, but CLI is still blocked by rate limit

This further supports a post-reset limiter desynchronization scenario.

Update (February 19, 2026): re-authentication did not resolve the problem. I logged out and logged back in to Claude Code, but API Error: Rate limit reached still appears in a brand new empty chat.

Hit the same problem. 5 minutes past the reset time, but still cannot use it.
Glad that I got a Codex as backup!

Hit a similar problem, I am on a Team Plan at my current org. I have a premium seat. When my "Extra Usage" of $100 is also consumed, the session usage is stuck at 100% for the last 4 days! Super frustrating! Please fix this.
