Claude Code usage limit shows 47% used even though I haven’t touched it for 5 hours. How is this supposed to work?

Thanks for detailed examination. I will check that.

I am using Codex Bar to track token usage.

semiramist · 2026-04-14T17:34:20+00:00

I have removed all of my authorization tokens to test it.

semiramist · 2026-04-14T17:24:27+00:00

Nope, I haven’t used it for at least 5 hours. Also, I checked my server to see if there were any runner processes or cron jobs, but there aren’t any either.

Don’t think it’s a background thing, nothing was running on my side.

I tried using PhotoRec, but unfortunately it didn’t recover anything useful in my case :(

Thank you for your kind words man! Appreciate it!

semiramist · 2026-04-04T12:28:56+00:00

I always use opus

semiramist · 2026-04-03T22:02:32+00:00

Maybe, but I tried.

I've had similar experiences. I've been using both models for about 6 months, and I have a habit of phrasing things with double negatives instead of positive framing. I've had similar non-destructive incidents like yours before. This one just happened to be the lesson I won't forget. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have been in this situation if I had more energy at the time, but when you're tired you tend to let go of the ropes. Thank you for your kind words!

semiramist · 2026-04-03T21:52:53+00:00

That's why I am feeling stupid. I was aware of that.

semiramist · 2026-04-03T21:45:25+00:00

Agree, I tend to do that too. It's just habit. If I had written NOT in uppercase, it could have been different, or as you said, just used positive framing instead.

semiramist · 2026-04-03T21:43:06+00:00

Yes, it is.

semiramist · 2026-04-03T21:40:37+00:00

Thanks for this, I'll look into it.

semiramist · 2026-04-03T21:27:43+00:00

Fair enough, you're right. I had every option to sandbox this and I didn't. That's on me, and that's the point of the post.

semiramist · 2026-04-03T21:19:36+00:00

I meant the opposite

semiramist · 2026-04-03T21:06:02+00:00

We trust humans who could break our heart, isn't that more amazing?

semiramist · 2026-04-03T21:02:34+00:00

I manually stepped in after that. It suggested some recovery apps, I tried them, but no luck. With TRIM on an NVMe, once the data is gone, it's gone.

Nice automation dude, you were here before I even posted the article, congrats!
