Im on the 5x Plan and I only just realized this promotion is running: From March 13, 2026 through March 28, 2026, your five-hour usage is doubled during off-peak hours (outside 8 AM-2 PM ET / 5-11 AM PT / 12-6 PM GMT) on weekdays). Usage remains unchanged from 8 AM-2 PM ET / 5-11 AM PT / 12-6 PM GMT on weekdays. Why is this a concern? This is actually my peak usage time, and I constantly battle usage limits even with the 2x promo running. From 28th, limits will back to “regular” allowance, essentially halving what we have currently. Note, I’m a heavy user, have multiple frontier accounts and use API on top. I optimize token usage and monitor regularly, route to smaller models and utilize local models for very basic tasks. It would nice to have more transparency via official usage tracking, rather than a simple % used so people can see a bit more detail for their token usage. For me it seems highly inconsistent. What strategies are you using to manage your token spend? https://support.claude.com/en/articles/14063676-claude-march-2026-usage-promotion submitted by /u/goodevibes
