What issue are you seeing?
My 5-hour quota had just reset to 100%, and I hadn't done a thing; yet, just minutes later, I checked again and found it had inexplicably dropped to 22%—and my total weekly quota had plummeted significantly, too! Oh my god! My quota wasn't even enough to begin with! What on earth happened in those few minutes? Is there a bug with my account?

I have the same problem. It's been showing every now and then for a week or so.
my personal recomenadion
as the models seen more users , and the models improved so much...
you should expect the same preformance out of the smaller models like Luna or Terra(the more expensive of two)
its also much smarter in terms of understand on which setup and computer you are on
with/while respecting the temptation we all suffer from
I recomend using Terra-Medium , its a very cost effective model
the 5-hours limit only meant for you - not to kill all of your weekly allowance in a one go , if things go the wrong way -- and some excessive token is happening...
I think as things go for now

I run like 300 prompts a day and I dont run out of my 5hours limit, I use a hourly reset once
for example I tried evaluating antropic claude sonnet, I am barely able to get 20 prompts done using sonnet5-low
(which is just a little bit better than gpt 5.4mini)
as per computers , as it needed to be any faster, cpus and gpus are so damn fast down --- and there is still development in term -- where all human equally have limitation in the design of them -- and compilers who made for them (which is a critical layer too - in how things will advance )
