Anthropic is offering a two-week spring break promotion that doubles Claude usage limits for users outside peak hours. From March 13 through March 27, 2026, Free, Pro, Max, and Team plan subscribers will see their five-hour usage limits doubled during off-peak times, specifically outside 8 AM-2 PM ET/5-11 AM PT.

The promotion automatically applies to eligible plans without any action required from users. During the promotional period, subscribers can access twice their normal usage capacity during mornings and evenings, while peak-hour usage remains unchanged. The additional off-peak usage does not count against weekly limits, effectively providing more total access to the AI assistant.

Enterprise customers are excluded from this promotion, which ends at 11:59 PM PT on March 27. After the promotion concludes, all usage limits will return to standard levels. This represents Anthropic's second seasonal usage promotion, following a similar holiday offering in 2025.
