I ran out of Weekly Limit But I still have my 5h limit which is now unusable

I genuinely don’t understand this. I hit the weekly limit, but I STILL had my 5h limit left… which then became completely unusable because the weekly limit overrides it anyway. So what exactly is the point of showing users they still have 5h remaining if they can’t actually use it? That just makes the limits confusing and honestly misleading. I bought ChatGPT Plus because it was supposed to give more usable access and fewer restrictions, especially for longer project work. Instead it feels like there are multiple hidden walls stacked on top of each other. I’m not even complaining about limits existing — I understand resources aren’t infinite. But if the weekly limit completely disables the 5h limit, then the 5h limit practically means nothing once weekly hits zero. That’s the frustrating pert.
