Claude Code adds a grace period when you hit the 5-hour usage cap
Anthropic's @ClaudeDevs says Claude Code will now find a graceful stopping point when the 5-hour limit hits mid-task, drawing on a small fixed allowance from the weekly limit.
What changed
Anthropic's @ClaudeDevs account says Claude Code will now try to find a graceful stopping point when a user hits the 5-hour limit mid-task, rather than cutting off mid-edit, per the post on X (19,968 likes). The tool gets a small, fixed allowance pulled from the weekly limit to wrap up what it can, the account said. The post did not state the size of the allowance, how it is calculated, or how it affects remaining weekly quota.
