How much usage each plan gets
- Free: Anthropic says it "covers everyday questions". Claude Code isn't included.
- Pro: at least 5x Free's usage per five-hour session, per claude.com/pricing.
- Max 5x and Max 20x: 5x or 20x Pro's per-session allowance, plus higher output limits and priority access at busy times.
- Team Standard: 1.25x Pro's per-session allowance. Team Premium: 6.25x Pro, which is 5x Standard. Team limits are per member, not pooled, per the Team plan article.
How the limits work
Paid plans have a session limit that resets every five hours and a weekly limit that applies across all models. The weekly limit resets at a fixed day and time assigned to your account, and you get your full weekly allowance each cycle. Your next reset time is in Settings > Usage. Max plans also have a separate weekly limit for Fable. Usage in claude.ai, Claude Desktop, the mobile apps and Claude Code, including the IDE extensions, all draws from the same pool. Anthropic says it may also apply other caps, such as weekly or monthly caps or limits on specific models or features.
Models and features by plan
- Claude Code: all paid plans, not Free.
- Sonnet and Haiku: every plan, including Free. Opus: Pro and above.
- Fable: "Usage credits" on Pro, and up to "50% of weekly limits" on Max and on Team Premium seats, per the pricing table.
- Max adds early access to advanced features. Team adds central billing, SSO, admin controls and connectors for workplace tools.
When you hit a limit
- Wait for the reset, or upgrade (Pro to Max 5x, or Max 5x to Max 20x).
- Turn on usage credits in Settings > Usage. You then keep working at standard API rates, up to a monthly spend limit you set. Credits are separate from your subscription.
- Use a limit reset if you have one. It refills your five-hour or weekly limit when you click "Reset for free" in Settings > Usage on the web or in Claude Desktop.
- For heavy coding, switch Claude Code to a Console account with API credits. If ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set, Claude Code bills that key instead of your plan.
Monthly API credits on Max and Team
Per Anthropic's API credits docs, Max 5x includes $100 and Max 20x $200 a month in Claude API credits. Team gets $20 per Standard seat and $100 per Premium seat, pooled and capped at $500 a month. The credits cover the Claude API, Managed Agents, the Agent SDK and the playground, but not Claude Code or extra usage in the Claude apps. They expire at the end of each billing cycle, new subscribers can claim after 7 days, and Free, Pro and Enterprise aren't eligible.
Billing notes
- Annual billing is available for Pro and Team. Max is monthly only.
- Upgrades take effect right away, with unused time credited. Downgrades take effect at the end of the billing period.
- Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next charge. Pro and Max accounts move to Free when the period ends.
Questions
- Does Claude Code have its own usage limit?
- No. Claude Code shares your plan's five-hour and weekly limits with Claude on the web, desktop and mobile. Run /usage in Claude Code to see your plan limits.
- Can I use the Max plan's API credits in Claude Code?
- No. Anthropic says monthly API credits can't be used in Claude Code or the Claude apps, including for extra usage. They're for your own API apps and agents.
- When does my weekly limit reset?
- At a fixed day and time assigned to your account, which doesn't depend on when you started using Claude or when you subscribed. Check Settings > Usage.
- Are Team usage limits shared across the team?
- No. Each member has their own limits, so one person hitting their limit doesn't affect anyone else.
