These limits, effective from August 28, will apply to subscribers of the $20-per-month Pro plan and the $100- and $200-per-month Max plans. The new policy seeks to address issues with users running Claude Code continuously and sharing accounts, which has led to service outages. Most users will not be impacted, as the limits are set to affect less than 5% of subscribers. Those on the Max plans will have options to purchase additional usage at standard API rates. The move follows similar pricing strategy changes by other AI tool providers like Anysphere and Replit, as the industry grapples with resource constraints and increased demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthropic has announced the implementation of new weekly rate limits for its AI coding tool, Claude Code, aimed at curbing excessive usage by a small percentage of power users.
