ClaudeDevs announced that standard Claude Code weekly usage limits will rise permanently by 25% on September 14, 2026 for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans. Until that date, the current 50% promotional increase remains in effect. Anthropic also stated the new permanent baseline is about a 17% reduction versus the allowance developers are using today. The company said it is working on product changes that should make remaining quota feel more productive, with better visibility and control over usage. For teams running long-horizon coding agents, the practical implication is a two-step calendar: keep the promo window for large refactors and eval loops through mid-September, then resize concurrency, /loop jobs, and default effort levels to the tighter permanent cap. Heavy Claude Code users should treat the dashboard, not older Help Center copy, as the live schedule.
