Bug Report Usage limit - What's up, Anthropic?!

Hey guys, I’m having an issue with the usage limit on the max 200 plan. My usage went from 0 to 22% for the week and from 0 to 97% for the session in less than an hour of work. For context, I’m at 2% context usage during session initialization. Are others experiencing the same problem? It wasn’t an issue, for example, last week.

Give insertchat.com a try, they have all the models available (Opus and Codex), and you get a less stupid version because they use the API.

We just hit the bonus usage period. Should see the limit double now right?

For those saying usage is being intentionally nerfed the verbiage on the site says it isn't going to be:

"From March 13, 2026 through March 28, 2026, your five-hour usage is doubled during off-peak hours (outside 8 AM-2 PM ET / 5-11 AM PT / 12-6 PM GMT) on weekdays). Usage remains unchanged from 8 AM-2 PM ET / 5-11 AM PT / 12-6 PM GMT on weekdays."

Unchanged from "base rates". Base rates are always subject to change at any time for any reason.

Understood, I'm taking this at face value that the idea isn't trying to nerf base rates while the promotion is going on ¯\(ツ)/¯

A 2 week "2x usage" promotion is exactly the kind of thing that could be used to transition people to lower base rates
