What issue are you seeing?

I'm an active OSS developer who also uses agentic for his paying projects, all on the same subscription.
With the way how fast tokens vanish these days I need to balance one with another and my usual strategy is to keep any and all intensive OSS efforts until the end of weekly resets when I know I will be able to squeeze it in to do PR reviews and my own proper coding.

Unfortunately for the Nth time now I've woken up to see my limits get reset prematurely leaving me again with a question whether I can indeed afford tokens now to do the things I had planned for this morning in the OSS space or em I risking running out of juice for my paying job sometime in the middle of the week. Because the resets are never guaranteed to happen.

If you at least had a platform to announce when this is happening in advance or a way to carry over the unused tokens , then I could work my way around that.

But not like this please.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Wake up to see weekly limits got reset 5 hours ahead of the schedule

What is the expected behavior?

Carry over the unused tokens for the next period
