What happened
Anthropic is running a limited-time promotion that increases Claude Code weekly usage limits by 50% for Pro, Max, Team, and legacy seat-based Enterprise plans, now extended through August 31, 2026. The 5-hour usage limits are unaffected, and the increase applies automatically with no action required. Free plans and consumption-based Enterprise seats are excluded.
Why it matters
If you're on an eligible plan and hitting weekly Claude Code limits, you have 50% more headroom through August 31 — plan heavier agentic coding work now before limits revert. Run /usage in the CLI to confirm your updated ceiling. No action needed to activate.
Discussion angle
Whether the temporary 50% weekly limit bump changes how aggressively you should integrate Claude Code into daily workflows before it reverts, and what the reversion means for teams building habits around the higher ceiling.
