Users report Claude continues tasks despite hitting rate limits

A Reddit user observed that Claude on the xhigh setting continued running a task (Fable 5) even after reaching 100% usage and hitting rate limits, without using usage credits. This suggests a potential change in Anthropic's rate limit enforcement or a bug that allows tasks to complete despite limits.

On July 13, 2026, a Reddit user reported that their Claude instance on the 'xhigh' setting continued to run a task (Fable 5) even after hitting 100% usage and rate limits. The user noted that usage credits were off, so the task was not being sustained by credits. This behavior is unusual because rate limits typically stop tasks. The post has 18 engagement points, indicating moderate interest. The observation could imply a change in Anthropic's rate limit policy, a bug, or a feature that allows tasks to finish gracefully. No official announcement from Anthropic is referenced.
