Overview
- Anthropic announced that starting September 14 it will set a new permanent weekly baseline for Claude Code that is 25% higher than the original allowance.
- The current 50% temporary boost will stay in place through September 13 and then end, which Anthropic says means users will see about a 17% drop versus what they have now.
- Anthropic has not published exact token counts for the caps and continues to use a tiered system where limits vary by plan and usage rather than fixed numbers.
- Reporting links recent relaxations to larger compute deals that provide more GPU and power capacity, though Anthropic says capacity limits still require these adjustments.
- Users who exceed the new weekly allowance can buy extra credits at API rates and Anthropic says it will add tools to give customers better visibility and control of usage.
