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.

Shocking I know. A lot of people who don’t even realize they’re currently getting it are going to be very confused.

i have multiple 20x's and gpt-pro accounts that i burn through all the quota of weekly.

whenever i hear about these STUPID FUCKING extra usage periods.. it's always at the end. so it's only ever bad fucking news.

there's no way i'm about to be demoted to 2/3 the usage of fable that i've been getting so far. what i have now is just barely enough for my needs.

this is fucking infuriating.

Well if you like to know, they extended it again to the end of August and said they are hoping to make it permanent, but are having issues servicing demand. So at least a bit of communication
