What's Wrong?
I'm on the Claude Max plan ($100/month). I have 3 scheduled triggers running. When I try to create a 4th via the API (RemoteTrigger with action: "create"), I get:
HTTP 400
{
"error": {
"message": "Your plan gets 3 daily cloud scheduled sessions. Disable or delete an existing schedule to continue.",
"reason": "trigger_limit_reached",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}
The problems
- This limit is not documented anywhere. The Claude Code docs, the pricing page, and the scheduled tasks UI don't mention a 3-trigger cap.
- The UI doesn't reflect the limit. At https://claude.ai/code/scheduled, the "New scheduled task" button is still clickable even when you're at the limit. There's no indicator showing "3/3 used" or similar.
- 3 triggers is too few for the Max plan. I'm using scheduled triggers for basic daily workflows — a morning briefing, a project prep email, and a Notion task scanner. That's 3, and I'm already out of room. I need a 4th for a weekly draft. These aren't exotic use cases — they're the kind of automation the feature was designed for.
- The error message says "daily" but the limit applies to all triggers regardless of frequency. My 4th trigger was a weekly schedule (once per Sunday), not daily. The limit appears to be on total trigger count, not on daily execution frequency.
Expected behavior
- The limit should be documented on the pricing page and in the Claude Code docs
- The UI should show how many triggers you've used out of your plan's limit
- The Max plan ($100/month) should support more than 3 scheduled triggers — at minimum 10 would be reasonable
- Weekly/monthly triggers should arguably not count the same as daily ones against a "daily sessions" limit
Environment
- Plan: Claude Max ($100/month)
- Claude Code version: v2.1.104
- Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon)
- Date: April 13, 2026
What Should Happen?
- The limit should be documented on the pricing page and in the Claude Code
docs
- The UI should show how many triggers you've used out of your plan's limit
- The Max plan ($100/month) should support more than 3 scheduled triggers — at
minimum 10 would be reasonable
- Weekly/monthly triggers should arguably not count the same as daily ones
against a "daily sessions" limit

Steps to Reproduce
- Go to https://claude.ai/code/scheduled and confirm you have 3 existing
scheduled triggers
- From Claude Code CLI, create a 4th trigger using RemoteTrigger with action:
"create" and a valid body (any schedule, any prompt)
- Receive HTTP 400 with trigger_limit_reached error
- Go back to https://claude.ai/code/scheduled — note that the "New scheduled
task" button is still clickable with no indication you've hit a limit
