Claude users will get more room to work with the AI chatbot for a short period as Anthropic rolls out a new promotion that doubles usage limits during specific off-peak hours. The offer runs from March 13 to March 27 and applies to users of Claude outside weekday hours between 8 AM and 2 PM Eastern Time, giving them a five-hour window each day to access twice the normal limits.
The company says the change works automatically and users do not need to turn on any setting to receive the benefit.
According to the announcement, the promotion covers several subscription levels, including Free, Pro, Max, and Team plans. The expanded limits work across the Claude web app, desktop version, and mobile app, which means users can take advantage of the offer regardless of the device they use.
According to Anthropic, the temporary increase also works with tools connected to Claude, including Cowork, Claude Code, Claude for Excel, and Claude for PowerPoint.
The company ran a similar promotion during the holiday period from December 25 to December 31, but that earlier offer applied mainly to certain paid subscribers. This new campaign reaches a wider audience since nearly all users can participate, while Enterprise customers remain excluded.
Anthropic describes the promotion as a thank you to people using Claude, though the move also arrives during a period of competition across the AI chatbot market. Recent developments around government contracts and shifting user sentiment have pushed many users to test alternatives, which has helped Claude gain attention and new users in recent weeks.
