Claude Code Bug triggers Rate limits without usage
3 points - yesterday at 12:05 PM
Starting an hour ago, i received the following message "API Error: Rate limit reached" in claude code on a 5x Max subscription.
I had not used the model extensively, but accepted it. I waited 10min and asked again on how to go about a localization task on a website. Nothing code intensive, just a Pointer on what path to take given the infrastructure. However the same error message.
I checked claude status, i checked HN and started the support bot, i reviewed the API ratelimits. But all seemed normal. And nowhere did it seem like i exceeded. I waited another 30min and tried again.
The error message persists, according tot the doc, it should tell me how long to wait. it doesnt.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Im seeing similar 'You have used 90%' and 'No more free messages' after 1 to 5 prompts on the free web plan during about that same timeframe. It did give a timeout duration of several hours and then reoccured after the time had passed.
That it also happens to a paid plan is not encouraging.
Claude chat has also been buggy the past few weeks in random ways. That they’re heavily vibe-coding their own product is starting to show.
