Anthropic Enforces New Rate Limits for Claude - Anthropic is introducing new weekly rate limits for its AI coding tool, Claude Code, starting August 28, to manage usage and prevent account sharing and reselling. These limits will impact less than 5% of subscribers and vary by subscription plan, with Max subscribers able to purchase additional usage at standard API rates.
This change responds to high demand and service disruptions, as Anthropic seeks to balance user needs with computational constraints and maintain reliable service. It aligns with industry trends to adjust pricing strategies and manage the impact of power users.
