ME News reports that on April 17 (UTC+8), according to monitoring by Beating, Anthropic’s developer account @ClaudeDevs announced on X that a bug has been fixed: the 5-hour and weekly usage limits for Claude subscriptions were inaccurately tracked when processing long-context requests with Opus 4.7. As compensation, both limits have been reset. This fix responds to ongoing user complaints. Since Opus 4.6 introduced support for 1M context, numerous bug reports have accumulated on GitHub from Max/Pro subscribers, indicating that even when quota remaining appeared sufficient, switching to the 1M context mode would still immediately trigger a “Rate limit reached” error. The release of Opus 4.7 yesterday introduced a new tokenizer; Anthropic acknowledged in its migration notes that the same input may now consume 1.0 to 1.35 times more tokens, compounding the billing discrepancy and causing users to be charged more quota than they perceived. However, the compensation triggered backlash among heavy users. Claude’s weekly limit operates on a 7-day cycle, resetting based on each user’s individual account start date rather than a fixed Monday. X user Scott (@Dorizzdt) demonstrated the absurdity this creates: he had deliberately kept his usage at 43–47% this week, with roughly 24 hours remaining until natural reset, planning to aggressively consume the remaining 57% today and seamlessly transition into next week’s full quota. The forced reset erased his already-used 43%, while simultaneously restarting the 7-day timer from this moment—meaning any usage today will now count against his next 7-day window. In effect, he could have used approximately 157% (57% remaining this week + 100% next week) over eight days; now he is capped at only 100% within the next seven days. For users who consistently max out their quota, this reset is a pure benefit. But for users like Scott, who deliberately conserve usage to maximize their weekly surplus, Anthropic’s “compensation” has effectively stolen the accumulated difference they had planned to exploit. This incident reveals an unintuitive flaw in Claude’s subscription quota system: the 7-day cycle disadvantages cautious users, and the forced reset equates to “resetting historical usage + restarting the timer.” While it benefits users who hit their limits, it forcibly pre-spends future quotas for disciplined users. The safest strategy, ironically, is to use your current quota as quickly as possible—do not save it. (Source: BlockBeats)

Summary
On-chain news broke on April 17 as Anthropic addressed a quota bug affecting Claude subscriptions linked to Opus 4.7 long-context requests. The fix reset the 5-hour and weekly usage limits after users reported billing inaccuracies. Opus 4.7’s new tokenizer increased token consumption by 1.0–1.35x, exacerbating billing issues. Some heavy users criticized the reset, as it disrupted their planned usage spikes. The company’s reset policy, based on individual account start dates, caused unintended consequences for users attempting to maximize their remaining quotas. With new token listings on the rise, accurate billing is becoming increasingly critical for developers and traders relying on stable usage models.
