Anthropic is giving all Claude Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team subscribers a free full reset of their Claude usage limits. The announcement was made on November 10, 2026 by the @ClaudeDevs account on X: the credit covers all models and all limits, and must be used by December 10 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
Why Anthropic is handing out the reset
According to Anthropic, the reset makes up for recently fixed issues that consumed limits faster than they should have. The company admits that the Fable resets handed out with the launch of Claude Fable 5.2 on November 9 helped little for people who had already hit their weekly limit on every model — they only gave back weekly usage spent on Fable models. The Claude free full reset has no such restriction.
How to use the reset
To use it, go to Settings > Usage in Claude (on the web, in the desktop app, or in the mobile app) and click “Reset for free” next to “Full reset”, in the “Limit resets” section. The direct shortcut is clau.de/reset. The button also appears in the message shown when you hit a limit. According to the help center, the reset cannot be applied inside Claude Code in the terminal or in IDEs, but limits are shared across the account — so the restored usage applies to Claude Code too.
Rules and deadline
There are important rules: the reset restores usage already spent, but does not raise your plan's limits, and the weekly limit still renews on its usual day and time. It can only be used once and cannot be undone. Anyone who downgrades or cancels before using it loses the credit, and it does not refund extra usage already billed. The Free plan and Enterprise were not mentioned in the announcement.
The gesture comes at a sensitive moment: usage limits are a recurring complaint from subscribers paying up to $200 a month for Claude, and the reset arrives three days after a federal judge allowed a class action over the Claude Max plan's “20x more usage” pitch to move forward. For anyone already at the limit, timing matters: spending the reset a day before the weekly renewal wastes almost all of its benefit.
