Anthropic 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.
Anthropic later deleted the original thread and posted a clarification, where it clearly admits the reduction.
“Compared to today, this works out to a 17% reduction in weekly limits on Claude Code,” the company said.
“We’re working on exciting changes that will make it feel like you’re getting more from Claude, while having more visibility and control of your usage. Can’t wait to share them.”
Anthropic says Claude usage can vary based on factors including conversation length, model choice, tool usage, and effort level, so the weekly allowance does not translate into a fixed number of Claude Code prompts.
The current 50% temporary increase remains available through September 13, with the new permanent limits taking effect on September 14.
