Did claude just change their token window to be 5h from exactly when you start?

Usually the Claude session window always starts and ends on the full hour but today I just noticed it's not matching up with the full hour.

Earlier this month, millions of OpenClaw users woke up to a sweeping mandate: The viral AI agent tool, which this year took the worldwide tech industry by storm, had been severely restricted by Anthropic. Anthropic, like other leading AI labs, was under immense pressure to lessen the strain on its systems and start turning a profit. So if the users wanted its Claude AI to power their popular agents, they'd have to start paying handsomely for the privilege.
