A user says Claude Code ground to a halt after hitting its daily usage limit: without it, development can no longer continue.

One developer says Claude Code has a daily budget cap of $100. While rushing to finish a feature one day, he hit a prompt reading “daily usage limit reached, resets at xx:xx tomorrow,” and immediately thought, “If I can’t use Claude Code, I’ll just stop working.” He says he no longer keeps debugging, testing, and fixing things the way he used to, and worries whether this dependency could ruin his career.
