About 3% saw a fake weekly cap; some got blocked for real

The UI invented a limit. The product enforced the fan fiction.

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%.
