Usage limits

Claude Code usage limits explained

Claude Code enforces two limits at once: a rolling 5-hour window and a weekly cap. Here is how each works and when it resets.

JP the Cat shows Claude Code's official used-percent — never a fabricated denominator or a token-based estimate.

The dual-layer windows

The 5-hour window opens on your first message and resets five hours later. Separately, the weekly cap resets at a fixed day and time assigned to your account; Claude shows the next reset in Settings → Usage. Max plans can add distinct model-specific weekly allowances on top.

How JP reads it

JP the Cat shows Claude's true 5-hour and weekly used-percent — but only after you opt in (Settings → Live data → Enable Claude live limits), because Claude Code does not persist these numbers. Without the opt-in, JP shows no Claude gauge rather than a wrong estimate.
