GoKawiilAnthropic is permanently increasing Claude Code's standard weekly usage limits by 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans, but it's not as good as it sounds.
If you use Claude, you're actually getting a 17% reduction compared to what you have today.
Claude Code currently has a temporary 50% increase in weekly limits, which Anthropic says will remain in place until September 14.
"Starting September 14, we're permanently raising standard weekly limits in Claude Code by 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans," Anthropic wrote on X. "Until then, the current 50% increase will be in place."
It's a clever way to frame words, as it almost sounds like you're winning as a customer, but you're not, and it's a downgrade.
If Claude Code's original weekly allowance was 100, the temporary boost gives you 150 today. On September 14, that drops to 125.
In other words, you will have 25% more Claude Code usage than you did before the temporary promotion, but about 17% less than you have right now.
