Easy mistake: treating Claude Code like regular Claude chat. Claude Code weekly limits are increasing 50%, now through July 13. [C001] Nice headline. Wrong habit. Higher quota makes fragmented chats worse, not better. Put the task, files, and rules in one message.
If you mostly use Claude as a chat box and coding helper, the first mistake is treating Claude Code and regular Claude like the same tool. The cost is thinking "more quota = more freedom" and then burning it faster in the exact workflow you already use: lots of tiny follow-ups.

That is real extra room. But it is still Claude Code room, not a free pass to turn one job into 20 mini chats. The bigger win goes to one clear ask with the goal, files, and rules up front.
The boring detail matters most. The most interesting product updates are rarely "it got stronger." They are "what behavior does it quietly punish now?" Claude's docs say later turns can resend earlier chat, so long sessions make future turns heavier. Bigger weekly limits help, but they do not remove the tax on messy back-and-forth, changing the job midstream, or dragging old file dumps through every turn.
That is why I would split the jobs, not just celebrate the number. Claude Code is better for framing the problem; regular Claude is better for carrying the rest through. Boundary: this is about Claude Code only, based on the May 13 update and Claude support docs, not a hands-on test of the regular Claude chat app. My rule: batch the work, clear old context when the task changes, and use the extra room for actual coding. Share this with anyone still treating every task like a fresh mini chat.
