I can “buy extra usage” for “up to 30% off” right now, but no free credits to be claimed on profile dashboard at the moment.

Did you have extra usage enabled before checking? Mine was disabled and I received the $20 credit.

I'm also not seeing it. Did you have the "Auto-reload" on or off?

The only listed qualification is "You’ve subscribed to a Pro, Max, or Team plan by April 3, 2026 at 9 AM PT", however I am not getting the banner for this credit. I suspect that there's an unstated additional qualification: that your account hasn't previously received an extra usage credit. I don't know if they should be handing out more credits right now considering that my Sonnet requests in Claude Code are routine…

I previously received one and was able to activate this one too. I agree it seems like there's more to this, just wanted to add another anecdote to further confuse things. :)

That's a nice gesture after they seemingly changed the rate at which my credits were being used to like less than half of what I was getting a week ago. But I'm getting tired of all of this changing all the time.

You mean this?

I'm not seeing the usage credit banner either. Didn't manage to claim it.

My account has never received any credit. I subscribed to Pro only a few weeks ago.

maybe they've changed the page since you checked but there are two requirements, the second one being: - You’ve enabled extra usage

If you haven't, then you don't get the credit.

I received the old one and I've received the new one too, so that's not the rule.

I'm honestly curious who on these plans that's not working with an unlimited enterprise budget would even choose to burn real dollars like this beyond the subscription? What is the personal use case? It seems exorbitantly expensive after you've exhausted your subscription.

Yeah, same here. I think it's just rolling out gradually, mine wasn't showing for the longest time then just randomly appeared.

Did Anthropic run Claude in a loop and tell it "work on our pricing and usage strategy", or something? As far as I can tell, they now have Free, Pro, Max x5, Max x20, Team, and Enterprise tiers. Plus session usage, weekly usage, extra usage (up to a spend limit (set by you) and/or a monthly cap (set by Anthropic)), and now usage bundles, which are extra usage but with a lower price and a fixed amount. I don't know, b…

For you, there's only one Anthropic. For them, there are thousands of you, and it's a non-trivial question how to group them.
