Anthropic and OpenAI revise AI plan usage limits, with subscribers weighing how the changes compare

Between August 25 and September 10, 2026, Anthropic, OpenAI, and GitHub Copilot each changed usage limits on their paid AI plans. Anthropic described a permanent 25% increase to Claude Code weekly limits starting September 14, though measured against the level subscribers had enjoyed since May, the new limit is a 17% reduction. The change follows a series of promotional extensions that had raised the ceiling by 50% for about fifteen weeks. OpenAI separately announced the return of a rolling five-hour usage limit for Plus accounts. Analysts suggest the moves reflect a broader shift as promotional pricing ends and vendors ration the high compute costs of frontier models.
