Anthropic needed a second post to say plainly that Claude Code's weekly limits are dropping

Starting September 14, Anthropic is permanently raising Claude Code's standard weekly usage limits by 25 percent above the original baseline for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans. That replaces the temporary 50 percent boost the company has run since its May to August promotion. Measured against what subscribers have right now rather than against the original baseline, the change is a cut: index the original allowance at 100, today's boosted level sits at 150, and the September 14 level lands at 125, a 17 percent reduction from today. Anthropic's first post led with the 25 percent figure. After users worked out the comparison publicly, as BleepingComputer reported, the company deleted that post and reposted, stating plainly: "Compared to today, this works out to a 17% reduction in weekly limits on Claude Code."

Why it matters: Anyone budgeting Claude Code capacity against this summer's boosted limits should plan for roughly five-sixths of that headroom from September 14. Starting from current capacity, the change is a 17 percent cut; the 25 percent increase applies only to the original baseline.
