typed has two tier families: a free one that runs on your own hardware with no account and no key, and two paid hosted tiers, typed++ and typed, on monthly billing -- no weekly cap, no 5-hour rolling window.
Update, 23 September 2026: the economy tier is now spelled typed (it was typed--), the free tier that runs on your machine is typed-local (it was typed), and with a paid account the CLI defaults to typed.
Bottom line: Claude Code's weekly cap is a ceiling the vendor sets and moves. typed has no weekly cap and no 5-hour window: one monthly quota, one reset date, and top-ups you choose. And with no key the CLI runs typed-local, which is free -- it runs on your own machine, needs no account, and typed is never in the request path. With a key on a paid plan it runs typed, the hosted economy tier, billed to your plan.
Yes, on Pro, Max, Team, and legacy seat-based Enterprise plans, on top of the 5-hour rolling window. Its level is set by the vendor: Anthropic has raised and lowered it on its own schedule, and a temporary +50% boost ran for part of 2026 and was extended more than once. Your plan and price do not change when the ceiling does.
It applies automatically, so it can be withdrawn automatically. That is Anthropic's call to make, and extra capacity is a good thing to be given. The point is not that a number moved. It is that the number you plan around is not yours.
Because a promotional limit is a ceiling the vendor controls, on the vendor's schedule, not yours.
This is the same mechanism as the 5-hour rolling window: a lever for shaping load, dressed up as a quota. A rolling window resets on the clock instead of on your work. A promo ceiling rises and falls on a marketing calendar instead of on your usage. In both cases the number you plan around can move without you deciding it moved, and you find out when you hit it.
If you size your week around a boosted limit, the wall arrives sooner than you expect the week the boost lapses -- on a Tuesday, mid-task, for a reason that has nothing to do with the work in front of you.
typed has no weekly cap and no promotional limit, so there is nothing to expire. And the tier most people should start on is free.
typed-local, the default without a paid plan, runs on your own hardware. Point the CLI at a model server on your machine -- llama-server, or an NPU server if you have one -- and it probes what that server supports and adapts to whatever answers. No account, no key, no quota, nothing leaves the box. typed is out of the request path entirely, which is why it costs nothing. typed local sizes a known-good setup if picking a model is not how you want to spend the afternoon.
The two hosted tiers, typed++ and typed, are what a key buys you. Nothing else needs one. You pick a tier by naming it, typed --model typed++ for example, and with no flag you get typed with a key on a paid plan and the free typed-local without one. The --effort words still resolve if you have them in a shell alias from an older setup; they are a compatibility alias, not a ladder, and the typed++ post lists what each one maps to.
On the hosted tiers you get one monthly quota with one reset date. The meter is denominated in cost, not tokens and not opaque "5x / 20x" multipliers, and it only moves when you actually spend. When you reach it, the next request returns a 429 with a one-click top-up ($5, $10, $20, or $50) that you choose, or, if you have opted in, an auto-top-up that continues the session and emails you a receipt. Top-ups you buy stay on your balance for 90 days. The free local tier does not touch that quota at all.
The number you see is the number you have. It does not quietly become a smaller number because a promotion ended or because you had an aggressive Saturday.
On the hosted tiers it is frontier-class coding quality at the same monthly price as the reference Pro and Max plans, with a 1M context window on both (typed is a lighter model at a lower draw per token). Team plans start at $25 per seat. What differs is the billing shape, not the capability.
A monthly quota means we have to size quotas for real coding workloads instead of theoretical peaks, and the headline number is bounded by what we will actually commit to. A vendor running rolling windows or temporary boosts can advertise a larger nominal number, because most users will not approach it in any single window. We cannot lean on that, and we would rather the number be real.
The free tier runs on your hardware, so its speed and ceiling are your machine's, not ours -- a 35B MoE on a laptop is not a hosted frontier model, and typed local is honest about what your box can hold. The hosted tiers are frontier-class, but not Claude. Most coding work feels identical; some edge cases will not. Our migration guide is upfront about what is the same and what is different.
Yes, on Pro, Max, and Team, on top of the 5-hour rolling window. The level is set by Anthropic and has moved more than once; a temporary +50% boost ran for part of 2026 and was extended more than once.
Yes, and it needs no account and no key. typed-local, the default without a paid plan, runs against a model server on your own machine, so typed is never in the request path. That is why it is free.
No. On the hosted tiers, quota is monthly with one reset date; hit 100% and you get a 429 with one-click top-ups, or a silent auto-top-up if you enabled it. The free local tier has no quota at all.
The local tier is free -- no account, no key, no quota -- because it runs on your hardware. On the hosted tiers the monthly price matches the reference plans, and team plans start at $25 per seat. See the migration page for the full side-by-side.
