Anthropic Claude Code usage limit adjustments

Overview

Anthropic has implemented a series of adjustments to the token and usage limits for its AI coding tool, Claude Code, to manage high demand and infrastructure sustainability.

Initially, the company extended a promotion through August 31 that increased token limits by 50% across all subscription plans. Anthropic noted that while it intended to make this increase permanent, it faced challenges in meeting high demand.

Following this promotion, Anthropic announced that starting September 14, it will permanently increase standard weekly usage limits by 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. This permanent increase represents a roughly 17% reduction compared to the temporary 50% promotional limit. To support its capacity, Anthropic has utilized compute partnerships, including a deal with SpaceX providing access to over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, though the company continues to manage constraints through tiered usage systems.
