Anthropic today announced that Claude is getting a big boost to usage limits, including doubling Code limits and stripping back on peak hour reductions.
Starting today, Claude is doubling Code’s five-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise (seat-based) plans. The only plan not getting an upgrade is the free one. Claude Code will also remove “peak hours” limitations for Pro and Max accounts.
Beyond this, Claude API limits are being drastically increased. Tier 1, for example, is seeing a 1500% increase in maximum input tokens per minute, and a 900% increase to maximum output tokens per minute, with major boosts for other tiers as well. In other words, the Claude API just got a whole lot more powerful.
This comes as a result of Anthropic striking a deal with SpaceX for additional compute capacity. “All” of the compute capacity from SpaceX’s Colossus 1 data center – 300 megawatts in the form of over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs – will “directly improve capacity for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers.” Anthropic is also leveraging compute capacity from deals with Amazon, Google, Broadcom, and more. Anthropic says it is interested in “partnering with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity.”
Finally, today’s announcement will also see Anthropic expanding in Asia and Europe to meet the needs of enterprise customers.
