I was thinking that on this, folks need a cron task to run a trivial prompt at 5-6am and get that 5hr timer running so that it the majority of the quota is available in the working day morning, and then a new 5hr block starts around lunch time. This should maximise use of included tokens by a standard work day spanning 3 blocks rather than 2
Also useful for paid APIs like DeepSeek's, where they have cheaper inference price (50%/75% off) for UTC 16:30-00:30, so being able to schedule some stuff you know would take a ton of tokens for that time period would make sense.
It hard resets limits every 5 hours instead of a sliding window?
That’s what their usage warning prompts seem to indicate.
