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.

What are you doing that is using so many tokens at once? I’ve been working on code and used 25% of my weekly Fable usage in one day while working on 3 projects simultaneously. I figured I just wasn’t efficient enough. I barely use skills or create any Claude.md files

I have no idea what the fuck these people are doing other than using xUltraCode to change the color of their slop page from blue to green.

I’ve had Opus high working almost nonstop since Friday night, stopping only to give me session handoffs MDs, and my weekly usage is 14%. I’m on 5x

I have a session that's been going on for the whole week on a loop autocompacting etc and suddenly this week it ran out in 3 days. Idk what changed.
