Resume claude

Resume claude.md

Resume claude after running out of usage limit. For Macos, it uses the automation scripts to resume usage.

For instance if your usage resets at 3pm

./resume_claude.sh "15:00"

resume_claude.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Usage: ./resume_claude.sh HH:MM
TARGET_TIME="$1"

if [ -z "$TARGET_TIME" ]; then
  echo "Usage: $0 HH:MM (24-hour format)"
  exit 1
fi

# Convert to seconds since midnight
target_sec=$(( $(date -j -f "%H:%M" "$TARGET_TIME" +%s) ))
now_sec=$(( $(date +%s) ))

# If target time is in the future today, wait; else, exit
if [ "$target_sec" -le "$now_sec" ]; then
  echo "⏱️ $TARGET_TIME is in the past. Exiting."
  exit 1
fi

# Wait until the time comes
echo "🕒 Waiting until $TARGET_TIME..."
sleep $(( target_sec - now_sec ))

# === After waiting, run Claude automation ===

Fix: Handle times after midnight correctly

Currently, the script exits when called like this:

./resume_claude.sh "00:21"

if the current time is already later than 00:21.

The reason is that 00:21 is interpreted as today at 00:21. When the goal is to resume Claude a few hours later and the target time is after midnight, the script should automatically use the next day.

Here is the adjusted version:

#!/bin/bash

# Usage: ./resume_claude.sh HH:MM
TARGET_TIME="$1"

if [ -z "$TARGET_TIME" ]; then
  echo "Usage: $0 HH:MM"
  exit 1
fi

# Validate HH:MM format
if ! [[ "$TARGET_TIME" =~ ^([01][0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]$ ]]; then
  echo "Invalid time format. Use HH:MM, for example 00:21"
  exit 1
fi

# Current timestamp
now_sec=$(date +%s)

# Build target timestamp for today
today=$(date +%F)
target_sec=$(date -j -f "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" "$today $TARGET_TIME" +%s)

# If target time already passed today, use tomorrow
if [ "$target_sec" -le "$now_sec" ]; then
  tomorrow=$(date -v+1d +%F)
  target_sec=$(date -j -f "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" "$tomorrow $TARGET_TIME" +%s)
fi

wait_seconds=$((target_sec - now_sec))
target_readable=$(date -r "$target_sec" "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

echo "🕒 Waiting until $target_readable..."
echo "⏳ Sleeping for $wait_seconds seconds."

sleep "$wait_seconds"

DIR=$(pwd)

osascript <<EOF
tell application "Terminal"
    do script "cd \"$DIR\"; claude --resume"
    activate
end tell
EOF

sleep 2

osascript <<EOF
tell application "System Events"
    tell application "Terminal" to activate
    delay 0.5

    keystroke "1"
    delay 0.5

    keystroke "continue"
    delay 0.5
    key code 36
end tell
EOF

With this change, calls around midnight work as expected. For example:

./resume_claude.sh "00:21"

If 00:21 has already passed today, the script waits until 00:21 tomorrow.
