Users of Claude Code are frequently encountering usage limits, even on paid plans, due to how the quota is structured and certain default behaviors. The primary culprits are using the Opus model for routine tasks, the high token consumption of subagents, and the Multi-Channel Processing (MCP) feature. The system enforces two independent limits: a 5-hour session cap and a separate 7-day weekly cap, which reset on different schedules and can lead to unexpected limit hits. Troubleshooting involves optimizing model selection, adjusting settings like MCP, or considering a billing tier upgrade if usage consistently outpaces the plan. AI
