Anthropic Doubles Claude Usage Limits for Off‑Peak Hours Through March 27

Anthropic casts the automatic, off‑peak boost as a thank‑you to users following its Defense Department dispute.

Overview

  • The limited‑time offer runs March 13–27 and doubles Claude usage outside weekday peak hours defined as 8 AM–2 PM ET.
  • Eligibility covers Free, Pro, Max and Team plans automatically, with Enterprise accounts excluded.
  • The 2x allowance applies across Claude’s web, desktop and mobile apps as well as Cowork, Claude Code, and the Excel and PowerPoint integrations.
  • Anthropic says no action is required, bonus usage will not count toward weekly limits, and standard caps and billing return after March 27.
  • Coverage notes the promotion follows Anthropic’s clash with the Pentagon and increased interest in Claude after OpenAI’s DoD deal, though the company presents it as a user thank‑you.
