This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
Only in claude code - when used in terminal : - Usage limits on my Max 20x account are consuming themselves without any actual activity. The numbers in the UI contradict each other and do not reflect my real usage.
Timeline (March 30, 2026):
I hit a rate limit and was told to wait until 6:00 PM Berlin time. I waited. Sent one single message. System immediately showed 52% of my 5-hour window already consumed. I had not used the service at all during that window.
My billing cycle renewed today (fresh weekly allocation). Within hours, the account page shows 41% of my weekly limit already consumed. I had barely used the service.
The account page currently shows:
Daily limit: 0% used
Weekly limit: 41% used
But Claude Code in the terminal says I have hit my limit and need to wait until 11:00 PM Berlin time. How can daily usage be 0% but I'm rate-limited?
I am paying for Max 20x and cannot use it. My quota is being drained by activity I did not generate.
What Should Happen?
Usage percentages should reflect actual usage by the account holder, not phantom activity.
Daily and weekly limits should be consistent with each other. 0% daily and 41% weekly simultaneously is mathematically impossible if both track the same account.
If daily usage is 0%, the user should not be rate-limited.
Revoking tokens should immediately stop any further usage from being counted against the account.
A user who revokes all tokens and logs out of all sessions should be able to start fresh, not inherit phantom usage from zombie tokens.
Error Messages/Logs
Terminal message after sending one message on a fresh rate limit window:
"You've hit your usage limit. Your limit will reset at approximately 11:00 PM Europe/Berlin time."
Account page at the same time:
- Daily limit: 0% used
- Weekly limit: 41% used
Steps to Reproduce
Have a Max 20x plan with Claude Code active on multiple devices.
Go to claude.ai → Settings → Claude Code → Revoke all tokens.
Go to Settings → Account → Terminate all active sessions.

While investigating, I discovered that revoking all Claude Code tokens and logging out of all sessions does not terminate access (related to [FEATURE] OAuth tokens should be revoked server-side on claude logout and on devcontainer shutdown to support secure workflows #34198). My second computer could still use Claude Code after full revocation. This raises the question: is usage from revoked-but-still-alive tokens being counted against my quota?
I am paying for Max 20x and cannot use it. My quota is being drained by activity I did not generate.
