Promotion expiry cuts Claude Code weekly limits by one third
↗
After the 50% weekly usage limit promotion ends on August 19, 2026, Claude Code limits revert to baseline, representing a one-third reduction from the elevated level.
Engineers using Claude Code on Pro, Max, Team or legacy seat-based Enterprise plans will see their weekly allowance drop, which may affect batch jobs, CI/CD pipelines, or interactive sessions that rely on the higher quota. The change does not affect Free plans, consumption-based Enterprise seats, or other Claude products such as the web chat or Claude Cowork, and the 5-hour limit remains unchanged.
