  "account": "Starting May 13, 2026, Claude Code users on Pro, Max, Team and legacy seat-based Enterprise plans will see their weekly usage limits increase by 50%. This promotion remains active through August 19, 2026, when limits will revert to their previous levels. Free plans and consumption-based Enterprise seats are excluded. No action is required from users to take advantage of the higher limits, which apply across the Claude Code interface including the CLI, IDE extensions, desktop, and web. The 50% increase does not affect 5-hour usage caps, and other Claude products remain unaffected.",
