Claude March 2026 usage promotion

  Anthropic use stripe/metronome for time of use billing. It’s doesn’t support dynamic pricing from what I’ve read.

  Is this just to encourage off-peak usage to get the most out of hardware investments?
  • mhitza 7mo ago
    Maybe it's a little bit of that, and a bit of boosting monthly average users and token average usage. Anthropic should be IPOing this year and higher usage stats I'm sure will help.

  Its kind of funny to me to have an on page FAQ for what is 200 words or so

  Hmm... Definitely seeing my weekly usage tick up during the off peak timeslot, so like most things relating to our current AI ecosystem... be careful, your experience may be different than what is claimed. "Does bonus usage count against my weekly usage limit? No. The additional usage you get during off-peak hours doesn’t count toward any weekly usage limits on your plan."

    Why wouldn’t your weekly usage “tick up”? And it’s only the additional five-hour usage that doesn’t count against the weekly quota, it’s not that off-peak usage only counts half.
