Daily tech — startups, AI labs, chips, the launches that shape the next decade. Free.
- Anthropic is extending a promotion that raises Claude Code weekly usage limits by 50%, now running May 13, 2026 through July 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT.
- Pro, Max, Team, and legacy seat-based Enterprise plans are automatically enrolled in the promotion with no action required, while Free plans and consumption-based Enterprise seats are excluded.
- Claude Code's 50% limit boost applies across every surface where the product runs — CLI, IDE extensions, desktop, and web — while 5-hour rolling usage limits remain unchanged.
- Other Anthropic products, including the Claude web, desktop, and mobile apps as well as Claude Cowork, see no change to their usage limits under this promotion.
- When the promotion ends on July 19, 2026, weekly limits revert to standard levels with no impact on plan pricing or billing.
Why it matters: Paid subscribers on eligible Claude Code plans get two extra months of headroom — a 50% lift on weekly limits through July 19, 2026 — letting heavier coding workflows stretch further before hitting the cap, while Free users and consumption-based Enterprise seats are locked out of the bump entirely.
