  "account": "Claude Code, starting May 13, 2026 and running through August 31, 2026, is offering a promotion that increases weekly usage limits by 50% for Pro, Max, Team, and legacy seat-based users on Enterprise plans. This promotion does not apply to Free plans or consumption-based Enterprise seats. The increased limit is 5 hours per week, and no action is required from users to participate. The promotion applies to all use cases of Claude Code, including the CLI, IDE extensions, desktop, and web. Usage limits for other Claude products remain unchanged. Users can verify their updated weekly limit by using the /usage command in the CLI. This promotion is automatic and will revert to standard weekly limits after August 31, 2026.",
