Anthropic just pushed a 50% increase to Claude Code weekly usage limits, and it's already applied to your account. No opt-in, no settings toggle. If you're on Pro, Max, Team, or a seat-based Enterprise plan, you have more headroom starting right now.
The promotion runs through July 13 at 6PM PDT / 1AM GMT. It covers every surface where Claude Code runs: the CLI, IDE extensions, the desktop app, and the web interface. And it stacks on top of the 2x increase to 5-hour limits that Anthropic announced just last week.
That combination matters. You're not just getting more total capacity for the week. You're also getting a wider pipe per session. For developers running long agentic coding tasks, both constraints have historically been friction points.
What Changed and What Didn't
Claude Code operates on two distinct limit layers. The first is a rolling 5-hour window that governs how much you can push through in a single session. This window governs burst usage, capping how many requests a user can submit within a given time frame. The counter begins from the first prompt in a session. If a developer starts at 10 a.m., the next reset occurs at 3 p.m., regardless of how many requests were made in between.
The second layer is the weekly cap. That's the absolute ceiling on total compute consumption across a rolling seven-day period. Anthropic defines an active hour not as wall-clock time, but as periods when Claude models are actively processing tokens or executing code-related reasoning. Idle moments such as file browsing or conversational pauses do not count toward this quota.
The current promotion increases that second layer by 50%. The 5-hour window itself was already doubled in the prior announcement. On May 6, 2026, Anthropic permanently doubled Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans. Weekly caps did not change in that announcement — only 5-hour windows. So the 50% weekly boost is additive and distinct from what already shipped.
Who Gets It and Where
The increase applies to all paid Claude Code users:
- Pro ($20/month)
- Max ($100/month and $200/month tiers)
- Team (per-seat pricing)
- Enterprise (seat-based plans)
It works across every interface:
- CLI (
claudein your terminal) - IDE extensions (VS Code, JetBrains, etc.)
- Claude desktop app
- Claude.ai web interface
