This change has particularly affected those on the $200-per-month Max plan, who are now encountering unexpected restrictions. Users, who have expressed their frustrations on platforms like GitHub, report that the limits have disrupted their projects, with some unable to use the service effectively. The company has acknowledged the issue but has yet to provide detailed guidance on what to expect in the future. Furthermore, this change is coupled with broader network issues, as API users experienced overload errors during the same period, despite Anthropic&#8217;s network showing 100% uptime. Users have called for greater transparency from Anthropic, especially regarding its tiered pricing system, which does not guarantee a set level of access. The situation has led to confusion and a loss of confidence among its user base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthropic has recently implemented stricter usage limits for its Claude Code service, catching users off guard due to the lack of prior communication.
