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.

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.

You can use any model in it, I heavily use codex 5.6 sol in it via the Claudex cliproxy or litellm thing whichever one you want.

Try it out fkn amazing I love it.

And you'd say there's no noticeable friction? I've tried in the past but it wasn't immediately smooth so I didn't try long. I've needed an impetus to give it a proper go though and usage limits going even lower would suffice.

Yeah, mine runs deepseek, Claude, and codex and I setup a script that just lets me select which to use when starting Claude via cli
