I’m trying to figure out how this affects weekly limits, since those overlap peak hours. My observation is that it doesn’t. But I could be wrong.

If they are doing it “right” I think any off peak usage should count 50% toward your weekly limits.

Edit: it does look like they are doing it the "right" way.

So the first 100% of 5-hour usage are billed against weekly usage at normal rates, but the second additional 100% are not counted?
I just watched my "weekly limit" get used while I ran a claude code command.

I'm not sure how to square that with the quote you gave.

Did you exhaust the five-hour usage limit already? As I understand it, the ”additional usage” refers to anything beyond the standard five-hour usage limit.
