# Claude Throttle

Instantly check if your Claude usage is doubled right now.

Anthropic is running a **2x Usage** promotion from March 13-27, 2026. During off-peak hours, your usage doesn't count toward weekly limits. But tracking when you're in the 2x window is annoying because it depends on Eastern Time, the day of the week, and the hour.

This CLI tool does the math for you.

## Install

```bash
pip install claude-throttle
```

## Usage

```bash
throttle
```

That's it. You'll see:

```
Claude Throttle v0.1.0
==================================
Current ET: Monday, March 16, 2026 at 03:00:00 PM ET
>>> 2X USAGE ACTIVE <<<
Off-peak window. Usage does NOT count toward your weekly limit.
Next change to 1X in: 17h 0m 0s
Day type: Weekday (off-peak, 2X active)
```

## Promotion Rules

| Window | Hours (ET) | Multiplier |

Eligible plans: Free, Pro, Max, Team (not Enterprise).
