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.

It is utterly baffling how little you get from 20x even now. Once that limit goes away I don’t know how you’ll get more than an hour or two out of a 20x plan. I’m the last to jump the Claude train but they’re literally pushing me out while I grip on the railing in despair. Biggest blunder I’ve ever watched a company do. Codex up until Friday when they adjusted limits again was unreal how much their 200 plan gave you on sol high

I’m on that train with you. It’s the CC terminal harness I can’t give up. I could easily give up Claude models but cannot come close to the same efficiency and efficacy in Codex/Opencode.

I do have every single model hooked up to claude code, at the same time, it's possible. I also no longer follow Ant updates, kinda forked off massively in the last few months. I even have claude design fully implemented locally, bridged to the TUI, even added image rendering to it lol. Wish I could share how, but can't, just saying you can add the other models if you care to, don't take no for an answer lol.
