    "baseline_note": "The standard weekly Claude Code limits in effect before May 13, 2026. Anthropic publishes no absolute weekly values, so the change is stated only as a percentage of that level. The article's title says May–August, but its text says the promotion ran through September 13, 2026. The level that followed from September 14, 2026 is a separate entry. The cited source does not say when the promotion was announced.",
