The Escape Math Sheet — Your Claude Code Weekly Limit Loses a Third on Sept 1: the 60-Second ×1.5 Check, the Stay/Switch Decision Table, and All Four Routes at Verified Prices
The companion to the video. Anthropic's +50% weekly Claude Code limit boost ends August 31 — their own words: 'We hope to make this a permanent change to our plans, but strong demand for our models means that capacity may be tight over the coming weeks.' Unless it's extended a fourth time, September 1 you keep 67% of your current week. This sheet turns that into a decision instead of a surprise. PAGE 2 — THE 60-SECOND CHECK: open Claude Code, type /usage, read the WEEKLY bar, multiply by 1.5 (use your heaviest week) — over 100 means the wall is coming for you; worked example included. PAGE 3 — THE DECISION TABLE: under 67% stay and do nothing; 67–100% stay and install the three fixes (clear between tasks, cheaper subagent models, the discipline block); over 100% steady — bolt on the $18 GLM plan or move to Codex at the price you already pay; over 100% spiky — pay per use. PAGE 4 — ALL FOUR ROUTES at prices verified on the official pages Aug 20, 2026 (Claude $20/$100/$200; Codex via ChatGPT Plus $20 / Pro $100 / Pro $200 with their published per-5-hour quotas; GLM Coding Lite $18 with 2,000 credits/5h and 10,000/week; pay-per-use API rates) — clearly marked which routes we road-tested on camera (a real bug went fail-to-pass in 40 seconds on the $18 plan) and which are published-numbers-only. PAGE 5 — KEEP TWO ENGINES WARM: the 15-minute setup that makes switching a 30-second move on the day you need it.
