We've just reset weekly limits for all Claude users on paid plans.

We've seen members of this community hitting their weekly usage limits more quickly than they might have expected. This is driven by usage of Opus 4.1, which can cause you to hit the limits much faster than Sonnet 4.5.

To help during this transition, we've reset weekly limits for all paid Claude users.

Our latest model, Sonnet 4.5 is now our best coding model and comes with much higher limits than Opus 4.1. We recommend switching your usage over from Opus, if you want more usage. You will also get even better performance from Sonnet 4.5 by turning on "extended thinking" mode. In Claude Code, just use the tab key to toggle this mode on.

We appreciate that some of you have a strong affinity for our Opus models (we do too!). So we've added the ability to purchase extra usage if you're subscribed to the Max 20x plan. We’ll put together more guidance on choosing between our models in the coming weeks.

We value this community’s feedback. Please keep it coming – we want our models and products to work well for you.

Is this a nice Christmas gift from Anthropic? If so, thank you! And wishing all in our community a fabulous few days of project fun!

I'm a Claude Pro user. Right now it's around 8:40 PM in France. Before 8 PM, I had about 12 hours left until my weekly limit reset (I had used roughly 50%) and about 40 minutes left on my 5-hour session limit (I had used roughly 70%).

But just after 8 PM, both my weekly and session limits were completely reset. The weekly limit is now showing Monday at 8 AM. I was running a task in Claude Code CLI at the time.

I distinctly remember it previously saying the weekly limit would reset on Tuesday morning, France time. Even if it were in US time, it should have been Tuesday afternoon. This sudden reset is confusing and unexpected.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Any ideas on why it might have happened?
