The weekly usage limit for Claude Max is capped at ten times the 5-hour rolling window limit.

While the 5-hour rolling window provides a short-term buffer, Anthropic enforces a secondary weekly cap. For users operating on the Max 5x plan, the weekly ceiling is structurally tied to this ten-times multiplier of the 5-hour quota. This prevents continuous automated script abuse while still offering substantial headroom for manual engineering workflows.
