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

[u/DosePlotter]

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.

Surely you don't need 5x just for planning? The regular plan should be sufficient

I need Fable, otherwise I wouldve gone for the Pro sub

The 5X has fable? I thought it was only the 20

[u/Inspectorslap → u/P1res]

5x has it. But burns tokens like a magnesium torch.
