Claude offers extra usage credit for Pro, Max, and Team plans

Claude is offering a one-time extra usage credit to Pro, Max, and Team plan subscribers to celebrate the launch of usage bundles. The credit amount equals your subscription price or as specified: Pro plan gets $20, Max 5x gets $100, Max 20x gets $200, and Team plan gets $200.
Eligibility and claiming
To be eligible, you must have subscribed to a Pro, Max, or Team plan by April 3, 2026 at 9 AM PT and have enabled extra usage. Enterprise plans and Console accounts are excluded. The promotion can be claimed from April 3 through April 17, 2026.
To claim your credit:
- If extra usage isn't enabled yet, go to Settings > Usage (for Pro and Max plans) or Organization settings > Usage (for Team plan owners) and switch the Extra usage toggle on.
- Click the "Claim" button on the banner at the top of the Usage page.
Claiming adds the extra usage balance without charging your payment method. The extra usage setting isn't accessible via the Claude mobile apps, so you'll need to enable it on the web version.
Usage and expiration
The credit can be used across Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and third-party products, including all models and features available on your plan. It expires 90 days after the date you claim it, and any unused portion won't carry over.
Once the credit expires or is fully used, extra usage remains enabled on your account. If you've enabled auto-reload in Settings > Usage under Extra usage, any usage beyond your plan limits after that point will be billed at the standard extra usage rate. You can disable extra usage in your account settings at any time.
