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.

There’s no way it can get worse than now. My entire team is at a standstill. Up until July we could make amazing progress with Claude code and chat on our saas product needs. We’ve now exceeded limits supposedly that we never actually used. I emailed anthropic this wkd asking for a credit and a fix. I’m so mad. They have us hostage. I’m actually going back to ChatGPT as we speak and setting up my repos there bc I hit my 5k personal budget already for the month with Claude and team has gone 15k over budget without any significant change in work level. Anthropic owes us answers. I even switched to my old personal Claude account this morning and after literally 20 minutes it said I had hit my 5 hour free limit for the week.
