Claude imposes a strict five-hour rolling window on your usage. If you hit your limit, you wait. This software tracks your usage patterns and triggers the system at the optimal moment. It works in the background to ensure you stay within your quota limits.
The application runs quietly. It monitors your five-hour window and manages your requests to prevent lockout. You gain better control over your work sessions. You avoid the frustration of sudden usage blocks during important tasks.
