Why did the weekly count start over from scratch?

I agree that communication should be more transparent. I cannot agree to the statement that a rate limit reset is bad. Especially if the goal is to spend all of these tokens anyways. Are you all sure this is not partly a control issue? If I sit down to carefully plan around limited resources, only to find out later that the planning was unnecessary because there was a free, unexpected reset, I may end up regretting the time spent planning instead of simply being satisfied with getting something for free.
