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

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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

Error Messages/Logs

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"
    }
  }

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to https://claude.ai/code/scheduled and confirm you have 3 existing

scheduled triggers

  1. From Claude Code CLI, create a 4th trigger using RemoteTrigger with action:

"create" and a valid body (any schedule, any prompt)

  1. Receive HTTP 400 with trigger_limit_reached error
  2. 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
