$Claude is Giving 2x Usage — Here's When It Kicks In for Bangladesh
Anthropic is doubling Claude usage limits during off-peak hours until March 28. Here's the full schedule converted to Bangladesh Standard Time so you know exactly when to take advantage
Anthropic just dropped a limited-time promotion for Claude users: double usage limits during off-peak hours. If you're on a Free, Pro, Max, or Team plan, you're automatically in. No sign-up, no coupon codes, no hoops.
Promotion Details
- Starts: March 13, 2026
- Ends: March 28, 2026 at 11:59 AM Bangladesh Time (BST)
- Eligible Plans: Free, Pro, Max, Team (Enterprise excluded)
The Schedule in Bangladesh Time (BST / UTC+6)
The "peak" window where usage stays normal is 8 AM – 2 PM ET on US weekdays. Converted to Bangladesh Standard Time, that becomes 6:00 PM – 12:00 AM (midnight). Everything outside that window gets doubled.
| Bangladesh Time | BD Days | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| 12:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Sun – Thu | 2× DOUBLED |
| 6:00 PM – 12:00 AM | Sun – Thu | 1× Normal |
| All day | Fri & Sat | 2× DOUBLED |
Why This is Great for Us
If you're working from Bangladesh, the peak window (normal usage) falls between 6 PM and midnight on weeknights. That means your entire workday — morning through late afternoon — gets the 2x boost. Fridays and Saturdays are fully doubled too since those are US weekends.
The doubled usage applies across:
- Claude web, desktop, and mobile
- Cowork
- Claude Code (CLI)
- Claude for Excel & PowerPoint
The Fine Print
The bonus usage during off-peak hours does not count against any weekly usage limits. Once the promotion ends on March 28 (BD time), everything goes back to standard limits. No billing changes, no surprises.
TL;DR for Bangladesh: Work before 6 PM on weekdays → 2x usage. Weekends → 2x all day. Runs until March 28 morning. Free to join, already active.
