Claude Code’s weekly cap drops 17% on September 14
An announcement of extra headroom ended in a deletion. Anthropic pulled its original post about Claude Code usage limits after criticism that it framed a reduction as an increase, then posted a clarification admitting weekly limits fall 17% against what subscribers have during the current temporary boost.
From September 14 the standard weekly limit goes up 25% permanently for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans. The catch is the yardstick: that 25% sits on the old baseline, while the temporary 50% increase, in effect until September 13, sat on the same baseline.
Anthropic said further usage changes are coming to improve visibility and control, without saying which ones or when. The new baseline takes effect September 14.
