Anthropic's 25% Claude Code limit raise lands as a 17% cut
Anthropic will permanently raise baseline weekly Claude Code limits 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise on September 14, but the temporary 50% boost expires the same day — netting roughly 17% less capacity than users have right now. Anyone planning agent workloads past mid-September is working against the new baseline, not today's boosted ceiling, with the promised usage transparency and control arriving alongside the change rather than ahead of it.

Why this matters
- → Users face 17% less Claude Code capacity starting mid-September despite the headline raise
- → Temporary 50% boost expires same day as permanent 25% increase, creating a net cut
- → Planning agent workloads requires targeting the new 25% baseline, not current inflated limits
Limits rise, but usage falls
