The only listed qualification is "You’ve subscribed to a Pro, Max, or Team plan by April 3, 2026 at 9 AM PT", however I am not getting the banner for this credit. I suspect that there's an unstated additional qualification: that your account hasn't previously received an extra usage credit.

I don't know if they should be handing out more credits right now considering that my Sonnet requests in Claude Code are routinely delayed by several minutes, presumably due to capacity issues...

I previously received one and was able to activate this one too. I agree it seems like there's more to this, just wanted to add another anecdote to further confuse things. :)

I received extra usage credit in February, and I got the email today asking me to claim this extra credit. Managed to claim this one too.

I'm not seeing the usage credit banner either. Didn't manage to claim it.

My account has never received any credit. I subscribed to Pro only a few weeks ago.

		I was able to claim the bonus usage today. It just randomly appeared.

Dunno, maybe there is a bug. I was both a subscriber, and had the extra usage enabled, and paid for extra usage before, and didn't get the extra credits. I am on the max plan, so was rather looking forward to the extra $100 to burn on /fast mode.

I guess it was just delayed. I received the credit banner just now and redeemed it successfully.

I received the old one and I've received the new one too, so that's not the rule.

		I agree. I happened to see Boris' tweet about it as soon as it posted, and the endpoint for redeeming the credits (the one that fires when you click it on the usage page) was already returning sporadic 400s for everyone. I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled it back so they could spread out the load. edit: whoops, meant to leave this as a reply to the (now-sibling) comment from 'flutas.

		Yeah, same here. I think it's just rolling out gradually, mine wasn't showing for the longest time then just randomly appeared.

maybe they've changed the page since you checked but there are two requirements, the second one being: - You’ve enabled extra usage

If you haven't, then you don't get the credit.

		That's not really a qualification so much as a required step, as you can do it anytime in the next two weeks to get the credit. And I have, but no credit.
