Claude Max users report quota leaking across accounts after switching in Claude Desktop
Suspicious-Duty-9022 · reddit · 2026-10-15
A Reddit user reports anomalous Claude quota usage: logging into an unused paid Max account (Y), it was already at 23% of the 5-hour limit; a 15-minute Opus conversation with 150k tokens of context pushed it to 30%.
- Account Y's 5-hour window had the same reset time as account X, which had been used heavily all afternoon, though Y's window should have started an hour earlier
- No chats, the only scheduled task paused, cloud credits untouched, and Y was never logged in locally before the switch
- The switch was made in Claude Desktop on Windows; Claude Code's local config still pointed to the old account afterward, suggesting shared or crossed usage metering
- The user asks whether they mishandled the account switch; no official response yet
