One-time restore of all models and all limits
Anthropic on Nov. 10 (Nov. 11 Japan time) announced that it has given all users of the "Pro," "Max," "Ultra" and "Team" paid plans of its conversational AI "Claude" one free reset covering all models and all usage limits. It expires at 2 p.m. Dec. 10 (U.S. Pacific time; 7 a.m. Dec. 11 Japan time) and can be used at any time before then. The announcement was made on X by its official developer account, "@ClaudeDevs."
We've given all Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team users one free full reset, across all models and limits. Use it anytime before December 10 at 2:00PM PT. We recently fixed a few small issues that used more limits than intended, and the Fable resets didn't do much for those of you who'd … (rest omitted)
Claude's paid plans have a usage allowance that resets every 5 hours and a weekly limit. A reset restores what has been used and refills the allowance; it does not raise the limits themselves.
Reason: fixing issues that "used more limits than intended"
In the post, Anthropic said it recently fixed a few small issues that consumed more of the limits than intended. It also cited the fact that the Fable reset handed out on Nov. 9 did not help some users much. It did not say which issues were fixed, when they began or how many users were affected.
Separate from the Nov. 9 Fable reset
On Nov. 9 (U.S. time), Anthropic handed out a Fable reset to coincide with the launch of "Claude Fable 5.2." That reset restores only the portion of the weekly limit used on Fable models, and usage on other models remains counted. Users with a 5-hour allowance get the entire 5-hour allowance restored, including usage on other models.
The number of Fable resets and their expiration differ by plan. Max, Ultra and some other plans get 1 to 3 depending on the subscription term, expiring at 11:59 p.m. March 8, 2027 (Pacific time). Standard seats on Pro and Team get 1, and can also use Fable models for one week; it expires at 11:59 p.m. Nov. 16 (Pacific time).
The new reset covers all models and all limits, not just Fable. It is a single reset, with a uniform expiration of Dec. 10.
| Item | Nov. 9 Fable reset | Nov. 10 full reset |
|---|---|---|
| What is restored | Portion of the weekly limit used on Fable, and the 5-hour allowance | All models, all limits |
| Number | 1 to 3 depending on plan and subscription term | 1 |
| Expiration (Pacific time) | March 8, 2027; Nov. 16 for standard seats on Pro and Team | 2 p.m. Dec. 10 |
Expires if unused, or on cancellation
According to the help center, a reset can be used even before reaching a limit, and once used it cannot be undone. It expires if not used by the deadline, and it can no longer be used if the plan is downgraded or canceled before using it. Charges already billed for extra usage are not refunded, and purchased credit balances do not change. The reset button is not available in Claude Code in the terminal or IDEs (development environments), but the restored allowance also applies to Claude Code.
On Claude's usage allowances, U.S. research firm SemiAnalysis in October published an analysis saying Anthropic was testing different usage allowances on some users. Anthropic has not commented on the analysis.
