Anthropic Imposes Usage Limits on Claude AI - Anthropic has set new weekly rate limits for Claude AI, impacting 5% of users, to address excessive usage and policy breaches such as account sharing. Although most adhere to usage guidelines, some continuously run Claude Code, affecting performance. Effective August 28, these limits aim to preserve service reliability but have drawn criticism from developers who feel unfairly targeted.
Users can buy extra access at standard API rates, but certain enterprise agreements might provide more flexibility. This initiative seeks to balance service availability with user demand amid increasing reliance on AI tools.
