Anthropic Cuts Claude Code Usage Without Notice - Anthropic unexpectedly tightened usage limits for Claude Code, impacting heavy users on the $200-a-month Max plan without prior notice. Users report quickly hitting these limits and express concerns over inaccurate tracking, which has caused confusion and frustration. The lack of communication from Anthropic has contributed to these feelings among the user base.
Compounding these issues are ongoing network problems and an unclear tiered pricing system, which hinders effective usage planning. While some users acknowledge the necessity of tighter limits, they call on Anthropic to enhance transparency to maintain user confidence.
