A user has reported a severe anomaly in Claude's usage limits, claiming to have exhausted a 5-hour session quota in just about 10 minutes. The user noted that they typically never come close to hitting this limit.

The user speculated that the high consumption might be linked to using Claude Design. However, after committing a few terminal sessions, the quota was drained rapidly once again. They suspect a change in how usage is calculated or a bug and asked the community if others are experiencing similar issues.
