Claude Code users say they’re hitting usage limits faster than normal

Users report Claude Code is consuming session quotas far faster than before, and Anthropic confirmed the issue on Reddit and X.

A user-claimed bug that breaks prompt cache and inflates costs by 10–20x is under investigation by Anthropic staff.

Anthropic recently adjusted peak-hour quotas and ran a limited promotion doubling off-peak limits, but exact plan allowances remain undisclosed.
