In January 2026, developers reported to The Register that Claude Code quota consumption was far faster than before, with some saying they ran out in 10 to 15 minutes on Sonnet; Anthropic attributed the issue to the end of holiday bonus quota (doubled from December 25 to 31) and denied lowering limits below the original baseline.
