Theo drafts the Claude Code rate-limit announcement he wishes Anthropic had written (@theo)
X post · Story page
Quoting the announcement that Claude Code's weekly limits rise permanently by 25 percent for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans from September 14, Theo does the arithmetic left implicit: with the 50 percent promotion expiring, the permanent 25 nets out to a 17 percent decrease from today's limits.
In plain words
- Theo drafted a clearer version of Anthropic's announcement about changing Claude Code's weekly usage limits.
- The current promotion raised limits by 50 percent, but its replacement permanently raises the original limits by only 25 percent.
- That leaves users with 17 percent less weekly usage than they have during today's promotion.
- His rewrite argues that naming the reduction plainly would preserve goodwill among developers affected by it.
