Developer builds tool to use Claude quota overnight
A developer created claude-overnight, an open-source tool that queues questions during the day and runs them on Claude Code at night when the 5-hour limit resets. It saves sessions, supports coding tasks in isolated branches, and respects quota thresholds to avoid consuming morning usage. The tool uses an undocumented Anthropic API endpoint to check usage limits.

Clever hack, but relying on an undocumented API that has already changed shape makes this a fragile workaround rather than a long-term solution.
