Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Why was I able to exceed my extra usage limit?
It's possible to slightly exceed your defined usage limit. Our system checks if you're within your limit before you're allowed to make a single request or send a message. Once the request is processed, we calculate your token consumption, which means you may bypass your limit with that request. Once this happens, any subsequent requests will be blocked.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.

To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.

Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:

If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Usage dashboard:
View real-time consumption in
Settings > Usage

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

When using Research mode, extra usage rates apply once you exceed your included Max 20X limits. Research sessions may consume tokens more quickly due to multiple searches and comprehensive analysis.
Projects and files

Why was I able to exceed my extra usage limit?
Why was I able to exceed my extra usage limit?
It's possible to slightly exceed your defined usage limit. Our system checks if you're within your limit before you're allowed to make a single request or send a message. Once the request is processed, we calculate your token consumption, which means you may bypass your limit with that request. Once this happens, any subsequent requests will be blocked.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Monitor your month-to-date extra usage costs.
Usage history:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Auto-reload settings:

Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:
Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend on extra usage each month.
Auto-reload settings:

Usage alerts:

Monitoring usage and costs
Track your extra usage through:
Usage dashboard:
View real-time consumption in
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
.

Monitor your month-to-date extra usage costs.
Usage history:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

When using Research mode, extra usage rates apply once you exceed your included Max 20X limits. Research sessions may consume tokens more quickly due to multiple searches and comprehensive analysis.
Projects and files

Why was I able to exceed my extra usage limit?
It's possible to slightly exceed your defined usage limit. Our system checks if you're within your limit before you're allowed to make a single request or send a message. Once the request is processed, we calculate your token consumption, which means you may bypass your limit with that request. Once this happens, any subsequent requests will be blocked.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works

If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Auto-reload settings:

Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.

Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:
Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend on extra usage each month.
Auto-reload settings:
Automatically purchase credits when your balance drops below a threshold.
Usage alerts:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Why was I able to exceed my extra usage limit?
It's possible to slightly exceed your defined usage limit. Our system checks if you're within your limit before you're allowed to make a single request or send a message. Once the request is processed, we calculate your token consumption, which means you may bypass your limit with that request. Once this happens, any subsequent requests will be blocked.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

When using Research mode, extra usage rates apply once you exceed your included Max 20X limits. Research sessions may consume tokens more quickly due to multiple searches and comprehensive analysis.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:
Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend on extra usage each month.
Auto-reload settings:
Automatically purchase credits when your balance drops below a threshold.
Usage alerts:

Managing your extra usage
Monitoring usage and costs
Monitoring usage and costs
Track your extra usage through:
Usage dashboard:
View real-time consumption in
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
.
Current spending:
Monitor your month-to-date extra usage costs.
Usage history:
Review past consumption patterns to optimize future usage.
Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls

Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
.

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:
Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend on extra usage each month.
Auto-reload settings:
Automatically purchase credits when your balance drops below a threshold.
Usage alerts:

Monitoring usage and costs
Monitoring usage and costs
Track your extra usage through:
Usage dashboard:
View real-time consumption in
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
.
Current spending:
Monitor your month-to-date extra usage costs.
Usage history:
Review past consumption patterns to optimize future usage.
Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

When using Research mode, extra usage rates apply once you exceed your included Max 20X limits. Research sessions may consume tokens more quickly due to multiple searches and comprehensive analysis.
Projects and files

Why was I able to exceed my extra usage limit?
Why was I able to exceed my extra usage limit?
It's possible to slightly exceed your defined usage limit. Our system checks if you're within your limit before you're allowed to make a single request or send a message. Once the request is processed, we calculate your token consumption, which means you may bypass your limit with that request. Once this happens, any subsequent requests will be blocked.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls

Usage dashboard:
View real-time consumption in
Settings > Usage

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:
Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend on extra usage each month.
Auto-reload settings:
Automatically purchase credits when your balance drops below a threshold.
Usage alerts:
Receive notifications when approaching your spending limits.
Extra usage pricing

Managing your extra usage
Monitoring usage and costs
Monitoring usage and costs
Track your extra usage through:
Usage dashboard:
View real-time consumption in
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
.
Current spending:
Monitor your month-to-date extra usage costs.
Usage history:
Review past consumption patterns to optimize future usage.
Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.
How extra usage works with other features
How extra usage works with other features
Claude Code
Claude Code
Extra usage applies to both Claude conversations and Claude Code terminal usage. Your combined usage across both interfaces counts toward your limits.
Research mode
Research mode
When using Research mode, extra usage rates apply once you exceed your included Max 20X limits. Research sessions may consume tokens more quickly due to multiple searches and comprehensive analysis.
Projects and files
Projects and files
Documents stored in project files count toward your context when used in conversations. Extra usage pricing applies to all tokens processed, including project content.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I disable extra usage after enabling it?
Can I disable extra usage after enabling it?
Yes, you can disable extra usage at any time through
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
. Once disabled, you'll only have access to your plan's included usage.
How quickly do my regular usage limits reset?
How quickly do my regular usage limits reset?
Your plan’s included usage limit will reset every five hours once you reach it. Extra usage doesn’t affect this reset timing.

Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Manage extra usage for paid Claude plans
Updated this week
This article explains how to enable and use extra usage on your paid Claude plan (Pro, Max 5x, or Max 20x), allowing you to continue working with Claude after reaching your plan’s usage limits by switching to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is extra usage?
What is extra usage?
Extra usage allows individuals subscribed to paid Claude plans (Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x) to continue using Claude seamlessly after reaching their included usage limits. Instead of being blocked when you hit your session limits, you can switch to consumption-based pricing at standard API rates and continue your work without interruption.
Note:
If you subscribed through one of the Claude mobile apps, you can only enable extra usage on the web version of Claude. You will need to add your payment method before enabling and purchasing extra usage on the web.
How extra usage works
How extra usage works
When you reach your plan’s usage limit with extra usage enabled:
You’ll see a notification that you’ve reached your session usage limit.
If extra usage is enabled and you have funds available, you can choose to continue working.
Your subsequent usage will be billed at standard API pricing rates.
Your session limits reset every five hours as usual.
Note:
Extra usage is charged separately from your paid Claude subscription and appears as additional charges on your bill.
Enabling extra usage
Enabling extra usage
To enable extra usage on your paid Claude plan:
Navigate to
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
in your Claude account.
Locate the
Extra usage
section.
Click "Enable" to turn on extra usage.
Set up your payment method if not already configured.
Configure your spending preferences.
Click “Adjust limit” to control costs with a monthly spending cap. You can also select “Set to unlimited” if you prefer no spending restrictions:
You’ll then need to prepay to cover usage beyond your plan limits. Click “Add funds,” enter the amount you want to purchase in the modal, then click “Purchase.”
You can also enable auto-reload to automatically make a purchase when your balance falls below a threshold you set:
Note:
There is a daily redemption limit of $2000.
Setting spending controls
Setting spending controls
Control your extra usage spending with:
Monthly spending cap:
Set a maximum amount you're willing to spend on extra usage each month.
Auto-reload settings:
Automatically purchase credits when your balance drops below a threshold.
Usage alerts:

Usage dashboard:
View real-time consumption in
Settings > Usage
Settings > Usage
.

Monitor your month-to-date extra usage costs.
Usage history:

Tips for cost-effective usage
Tips for cost-effective usage
To manage extra usage costs while maintaining productivity:
Choose efficient models:
Use our most efficient Haiku model, or the most recent Sonnet model for most tasks. These provide excellent performance at lower token costs than Opus models.
Leverage your included usage first:
Plan intensive work sessions around your five-hour usage windows.
Start new conversations:
Begin fresh chats for new topics to minimize the size of your context window.
Use projects effectively:
Store frequently referenced documents in project knowledge instead of re-uploading.
Set appropriate limits:
Start with conservative spending caps and adjust based on your needs.
How extra usage works with other features

Claude Code
Claude Code
Extra usage applies to both Claude conversations and Claude Code terminal usage. Your combined usage across both interfaces counts toward your limits.
Research mode
Research mode
When using Research mode, extra usage rates apply once you exceed your included Max 20X limits. Research sessions may consume tokens more quickly due to multiple searches and comprehensive analysis.
Projects and files
Projects and files
Documents stored in project files count toward your context when used in conversations. Extra usage pricing applies to all tokens processed, including project content.
