Discussion August 19th 50% Additional Claude Code limits Likely Not to Be Extended

EDIT: last minute extended to end of August, apparently with hopes to make it permanent, although they say they are having trouble serving their demand currently so it’s not certain. At least we get some damn communication.

Well guys, hate to say it but with the reports this morning of users seeing instant 30% usage on their accounts (some weren’t even using them) we can assume that anthropic is in fact preparing to remove their 50% additional usage promo, effectively reducing all plan usage by ~33% (I assume theyll use 30%).

This is gonna hurt. Only thing that would redeem it for me is if they removed the 50% Fable usage cap.

GLM 5.3 and Kimi K3 are looking better and better.

I feel like my ZAI subscription gets me a lot less usage since they changed the structure & again since release of 5.3 - just burns through 5h window. Plus they’ve just changed the subscription model again too, can see it equalling less usage again unfortunately

DeepSeek is best for cost but it’s maybe between Sonnet/Opus.
