Baseline
Two baselines. Index the pre-promotion weekly limit at 100: the promotion made it 150 and the new level is 125. Against the promotional level: 125 / 150 − 1 = −16.7% (Anthropic: "a 17% reduction in weekly limits on Claude Code"). Against the original pre-promotion level: 125 / 100 − 1 = +25%. Anthropic publishes no absolute weekly values.
A change can be a cut against one level and a rise against another, so every entry names the baseline it compares with.
