Claude and Cursor users saw sudden limit and credit changes

r/ClaudeAIJul 10, 2026 · 3d ago

Several Claude users suddenly saw their 5-hour and s refill. One account holder saw the reset happen on two Claude accounts at once, which led to guesses about a possible new model, but nothing in the reports confirms that. The reaction was mostly relief and excitement, though the cause is still unclear and could be compensation, an internal policy change, or a display bug.

Cursor showed similar uncertainty around ing: on the $20 plan, API credits were already at 100% used, but switching from Auto to Grok 4.5 still worked. Another Cursor account showed credits as 0%/0% with four days left before the normal reset, and restarting the app did not change it. A separate Claude usage observation pointed to cache TTL sometimes falling from the usual 1 hour to 5 minutes.

Shorter cache TTL can make repeated work more expensive because the system has to process the same material again sooner.

Key points

  • Claude 5-hour and appeared to reset without warning for multiple users.
  • There is no confirmed link to a new model release.
  • Cursor API credits behaved oddly for at least one $20 plan user after switching to Grok 4.5.
  • Another Cursor account showed 0%/0% credits with four days left before reset.
  • A Claude cache TTL change from 1 hour to 5 minutes could make repeated work cost more.
