About 3% saw a fake weekly cap; some got blocked for real
The UI invented a limit. The product enforced the fan fiction.
Summary: Bug hit roughly 3% of Claude Code Max and Pro users with an incorrect weekly usage limit display, sometimes blocking messages. Fixed with limit resets for affected users; follow-up reset expanded to everyone across all plans.

What landed
@ClaudeDevs reported that earlier that day about 3% of Claude Code Max and Pro users hit a bug showing an incorrect weekly usage limit, and in some cases blocking messages. The bug was fixed; 5-hour and weekly limits were reset for those affected, with apologies.
A follow-up the next day expanded the reset: 5-hour and weekly usage limits for everyone, across all plans.
Why it matters
Wrong meters are trust poison. Blocking on a bad number is outage cosplay with a percentage.
Satire margin
Apologies for the disruption. Enjoy your weekend. File the 3%.
