You've reached your weekly limit. Your limit will reset …
Claude Pro and Max plans carry weekly usage caps on top of the 5-hour session window. The weekly cap resets on a rolling seven-day schedule from when your usage started, and the limit notice shows your exact reset time. It cannot be reset early — the practical options are upgrading the tier, switching heavy work to API billing, or moving volume work to an unmetered agent setup.
If you hit the weekly cap regularly, it's almost always agentic volume, not chat. Moving even one recurring bulk task off the metered plan often keeps the rest of the week under the cap.
Claude Code itself can't point at another endpoint, but comparable open agents — OpenCode, Cline, Aider — run on Standard Compute's flat-rate unlimited endpoint with no session windows and no weekly caps. A common setup is Claude Code inside its plan limits for judgment-heavy work, with an unmetered agent handling the volume.
No. The weekly cap is rolling and resets exactly when the notice says. Neither logging out, changing devices, nor reinstalling changes it — usage is tracked on the account.
Upgrading to a higher tier raises the caps, and the new headroom applies to your current window — for many users that unblocks work immediately.
No — API billing is metered separately per token, with rate limits but no plan-style weekly cap. That's why switching heavy runs to API billing (or an unmetered flat-rate agent setup) works as an overflow valve.
