Yeah this is a bit crazy and not surprising at all.
The limits have always been opaque and you never know when they change.
I started building an open-source local proxy that logs every rate-limit header Claude Code sends.
I am using it to track and get a better sense of the 5h and 7d weekly limits.
Some initial data from 11 observed 5h sessions on Max 20x:
- 5h budget: roughly $120–$280 per window
- 7d budget: roughly $1,300–$1,900
- Separate Sonnet-only 7d budget at ~$150
- 95% of tokens are cache reads. They barely move the meter.
It’s open source so more people can run it and we can figure out the real numbers.
