Notes on “Claude plans: recorded usage limits”

  • Team (Standard seat), Weekly cap: Limits are per member: “Usage limits on Team plans are per-member, rather than applied to the team as a whole.” Back to the value
  • Enterprise, 5-hour window: Older seat-based Enterprise plans with Standard and Premium seats keep per-seat limits until they move to usage-based billing, at the latest at their next contract renewal. Back to the value

Vendors often describe limits loosely. Where a source gives a range or a multiplier, the table shows exactly that, with the source's own words in the source list. Values labeled Reported, Community or Measured are not the vendor's own statement.
