A weekly allowance may not reset on Monday or in your local time zone. Use the date shown in your account rather than extrapolating from old reports.
Three events that look similar
Short windows, weekly capacity and temporary credits operate at different levels. Search results often call all three a “reset,” which creates false certainty.
How to confirm your weekly time
Look for a date or countdown on the account usage page. If there is no time, refresh later and check official support or status information.
Another user may have a different plan, time zone or usage start date, so their screenshot is not a schedule for your account.
Work near the cap
Bring repository-level tasks forward and leave documentation or manual review until recovery. Reduce repeated attempts by testing the smallest viable change first.
- Combine related tasks
- Reuse completed analysis
- Validate narrowly before expanding

Only an explicit announcement or a visible account change can confirm that.
