So you pay a monthly fee for a base quota, which represents how much you can use Claude Code per 5h, 7d etc. You should all be familiar with this concept. It’s called a quota. If Anthropic were to reduce your quota, but charge you the same amount of money, you’d be sad, right? Historically, (the end of last year was the most recent example of this), whenever Anthropic have had these promo “boost” 2x-whatever periods, it’s coincided with a silent reduction in your base quota. Meaning, they gave temporarily with one hand, while silently, permanently taking away with the other. So just think about that, while you’re enjoying this 2x period. I’m not trying to ruin your fun. I’m trying to make sure these companies aren’t able to fool you into unknowingly paying the same amount for less and less over time. It sucks, but this is what they’ve done in the past. Just be mindful of it, before you go singing Anthropic’s praises and thanking them for such a generous 2x promo. submitted by /u/zirouk
