Anthropic announced that Claude Code will now try to find a graceful stopping point when users hit the 5-hour usage limit mid-task, instead of cutting off mid-edit. It uses a small, fixed allowance pulled from the weekly limit to wrap up what it can. Some users joked Anthropic must have hired a new PR team.
