Users report Claude subagent freezing and usage limit reset issues on MacOS

On July 11, 2026, multiple users reported problems with Anthropic's Claude on MacOS: Sonnet subagents spawned by Opus 4.6 freeze after starting tasks, and the usage limit UI shows reset but messages cannot be sent. Users suspect server-side issues not reflected on claude.ai.

Two separate reports on Reddit from July 11, 2026 highlight issues with Anthropic's Claude on MacOS. One user reports that after waiting for the usage limit to reset, the UI shows it has reset but they cannot send messages via the Claude MacOS app, while claude.ai works fine. Another user reports that Sonnet subagents spawned by Opus 4.6 freeze mid-task, and Opus incorrectly attributes the problem to context length (which is under 100K). Both users suspect server-side issues that the website does not register.

Users report Claude Code consuming excessive usage due to large context bug

One user lost significant paid usage before realizing the issue. Another user describes a layered configuration setup with CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files, and a cleanup that removed ~700MB of empty content but still faced model selection inefficiencies.
