## Title

    [Claude Code] 'You've hit your session limit · resets <time>' / weekly / Opus / Sonnet limit — switching models only helps for family limits

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Session and weekly limits are shared across models; Opus/Sonnet limits apply only to that family.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - You've hit your weekly limit · resets Mon 12:00am
    - You've hit your Opus limit · resets 3:45pm
    - You've hit your Sonnet limit · resets 3:45pm
    - Usage limit reached · continuing automatically at 3:45pm · esc to cancel
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors#youve-hit-your-session-limit (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Errors doc lists the four limit messages, says session/weekly are shared across models while Opus/Sonnet are family-specific, and documents auto-continue from v2.1.234.
    
    Search phrasings: claude code you've hit your session limit; claude code weekly limit resets; claude code opus limit switch model
