OpenRouter Watch posted an update
When Claude Code hits a five-hour or weekly plan limit, OpenRouter’s guide says you can keep working by using an OpenRouter API key with the same Claude models, paying per token instead of waiting for the usage window to reset.
Why it mattersThe guide describes setting this up as a separate command, checking the cost and switching back when the plan resets. That is a practical workaround, though pay-per-token usage means the bill deserves a glance before the coding sprint gets ideas above its station.
Discuss: Would you switch to pay-per-token access when a Claude Code limit hits, or wait for your plan to reset?
