Anthropic will change Claude Code weekly usage limits: the temporary uplift in 50% will end on 14 September, after which it will be replaced by a permanent increase of 25%. As a result, The Decoder assesses the actual change as a reduction of the limit by 17%.
The company also promises to give users more control and transparency regarding usage. The sole source in the package is the independent The Decoder material, available here only as metadata, so details of the change mechanics and its scope are not confirmed by primary data.
editorial commentary
Why it matters
Likely consequence — users will face a smaller actual weekly limit after the temporary uplift ends. The next observed signal will be an initial announcement by Anthropic with the details of the calculation and promised controls. Significant uncertainty remains: the package contains no confirmation from the company itself and no full text of the source material.
