usage limits

Anthropic has documented and shipped a limit reset button in Claude usage settings. Eligible subscribers holding a granted reset can click Reset for free and put either their five-hour session limit or their weekly usage limit straight back to full. It works on Claude web and Claude Desktop, and deliberately not on Claude Mobile or in Claude Code. It arrived with Claude Opus 5.5, with grants framed as an invitation to try the new model. This article covers exactly what each reset type restores, the arithmetic that makes a session reset worth far less than a weekly one, the expiry and irreversibility rules, and how to spend a grant rather than waste it.
