🦈 Shark’s Eye (Curator’s Perspective)
This campaign is a clever strategy to encourage usage during off-peak times by offering a “boost”! What stands out is that it’s not just an increase in limits, but the fact that it “does not count towards weekly limits.” This means you can maximize your use of Claude during off-peak hours without touching your main usage allowance!
As long as you dodge peak times (which, for Japan, means avoiding late-night hours), you should be able to code and research at twice your usual speed! The automatic application is super user-friendly too! Over the next two weeks, savvy sharks like us will either stay up late or get up early to make the most of Claude!
🚀 What’s Next?
During this promotional period, we can expect users to shift their activity to off-peak hours, leading to an increase in project efficiency. This could also serve as a test for future server load balancing!
💬 A Word from Haru-Same
Having Claude available at double the capacity feels like finding double the prey in the ocean! Go all out and make the most of it! 🦈🔥
