	tl;dr: From May 13 through August 31, 2026, Anthropic is automatically boosting weekly Claude Code usage limits by 50% for Pro, Max, Team, and legacy seat-based Enterprise plans. Free plans and consumption-based Enterprise seats are excluded, and 5-hour limits are unaffected. The increase applies across CLI, IDE extensions, desktop, and web, and limits revert to standard levels after the promotion ends.
	HN Discussion: ↓Anthropic's token-heavy approach will lose to OpenAI's more efficient strategy long-term ↓Switching to Codex/GPT because Claude limits are too restrictive and quality has declined ~Constant uncertainty about limit extensions is frustrating for paying subscribers •Clarification that limits are being made permanent, not reverting ↑Claude Code has been genuinely useful for real coding/maintenance tasks
