Original Reddit post

Let me start with, I’m not new to claude code. I use it every day, and have well established patterns of how I use it, so this isn’t a “I’m new! why did it do this?!?!” post. I sat down this mornning, started working like every other morning. Not doing anything different in patterns, or any more complext of tasks than any other day. Yet today, 30 minutes after getting started it tells me I’ve hit my 5 hours session limit. WTF!?!? I do sometimes hit my limit, usually 30-45 minutes before it ends, on the days I do hit it. 30 minutes into starting the day?!?! Even more confusing, you’d think if it used that much session limit it sould have at least used a decent portion of its local context, but it hasnt even tried to compact once. This has to be a bug or something, but now I have 4+ hours to think about it. I did look online at the active sessions page in case somsone somehow was somehow using my account, it looks fine. Has anyone else hit this? submitted by /u/sjgoalie
