Paid Claude users have one free full usage reset to claim. Anthropic's developer account announced on X on November 10, 2026, that Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team subscribers can each claim a reset covering all models and all limits, valid until 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time on December 10, after which it expires. The giveaway compensates for a few small bugs Anthropic has fixed that consumed limits faster than intended; the earlier reset tied to Fable models did not help users who had already hit their weekly limits.
How much it restores, and how to claim it
The reset restores usage already spent; it does not raise your limits. Both the five-hour session allowance and the weekly allowance return to full, and the weekly allowance keeps resetting on its usual schedule afterward. To claim it, open Settings, go to Usage, find Full reset under Limit resets, and click Reset for free to confirm. This is the second reset since the Fable 5.2 launch: the November 9 Fable reset only restored Fable usage, giving one to three resets depending on subscription length and expiring March 8, 2027, while this full reset covers all models and expires December 10 — do not confuse the two. The free plan is not included, and the Enterprise plan was not mentioned.
Don't waste the one reset on the wrong week
Three limits matter. First, once used it cannot be undone, so don't spend it while your allowance is still comfortable. Second, if you downgrade or cancel before using it, the reset simply disappears, and extra usage already billed will not be refunded. Third, the deadline is 6:00 a.m. Beijing time on December 11, so claiming it at the last minute risks missing it. The best use is to save it for a week when your allowance is genuinely running out and you have urgent work. The reset is connected to the allowance changes around the Fable 5.2 launch; for how to use Fable, see How to use Claude Fable 5.2: the priciest model got cheaper, but the free plan still can't use it.
