How Claude usage limits work

Every Claude plan uses a rolling five-hour session window. Your first message opens it, and it resets five hours later. Paid plans add a weekly limit across all models that resets at a fixed day and time for your account. Claude Code and the Claude apps share the same limits.

Neither company publishes a fixed number of messages. It depends on the model, the size of the task and whether it runs locally or in the cloud.

Getting more out of a session

  • Start a new conversation for a new task, so you aren't paying for old context.
  • Use a smaller model for simple edits and save the biggest for hard problems.
  • Plan the session around the reset: start a long task right after a window opens.

Timecard shows your real Claude Code and Codex limits, used and remaining, with the reset time, and alerts you at 80% and 95%. See tracking Claude Code usage.

questions

When does my Claude usage limit reset?

Every plan uses a rolling five-hour session window. It starts with your first message and resets five hours later, then the next message opens a new window. Pro, Max and Team also have a weekly limit that resets at a fixed day and time shown in Settings › Usage.

What's the difference between Claude Pro and Max limits?

Pro is $20 a month ($17 a month billed yearly). Max 5x is $100 a month with five times Pro's usage per session, and Max 20x is $200 a month with twenty times. Anthropic doesn't publish a fixed message count, because usage depends on the model, the length of the conversation and the features you use.

What can I do when I hit the limit?

Wait for the reset, move to a higher plan, or turn on usage credits to keep working at standard API rates.

When do Codex limits reset?

On ChatGPT Plus, Codex has a five-hour window and a weekly limit. On Pro there's no five-hour limit, but a weekly limit can apply. Your exact reset times are on the Codex usage dashboard, or run /status in the Codex CLI.

Can I see my real usage without checking?

Timecard reads the limits Claude Code and Codex already cache on your Mac and shows how much is used and when each resets, with alerts at 80% and 95%.
