Our take

Claude Code is included in all paid Claude plans and shares one usage pool with the rest of your plan, with limits on a rolling five-hour window plus weekly limits. When you hit a limit you can wait, upgrade, or turn on usage credits at API rates. It's not included on the Free plan.

Research-based verdict, not a hands-on test. Sponsors can't buy verdicts.
