UnverifiedThe "5-hour limit" generally refers to the number of requests or messages that can be initiated within a rolling 5-hour time window.73% similarUnverifiedIn March 2026, Claude Code Max subscribers reported that quotas ran out in as little as 19 minutes rather than the expected 5 hours; Anthropic responded that it was aware and began adjusting the 5-hour session limit during weekday peak hours. The main causes were tighter limits during peak hours and ever-expanding million-token sessions.72% similarUnverifiedAgent loops should be managed with hard state machine budget clamps: define in code a hard upper limit of maximum execution steps K≤5, a cumulative session token cap ≤25000, and a wall-clock timeout ≤45 seconds, and when a threshold is breached, the host terminates execution, raises an alert, and passes a fallback message to a human operator.69% similarUnverifiedClaude's subscription version uses usage quotas within a rolling time window, typically limited by a 5-hour window combined with a weekly total cap, with quotas weighted and converted based on input/output tokens and model tier.68% similarUnverifiedAcross multiple deployments observed by the author, using the five-field handoff reduced the average time from escalation to reply from hours to under one minute.65% similar
