We’re rolling out new weekly rate limits for Claude Pro and Max in late August. We estimate they’ll apply to less than 5% of subscribers based on current usage.

Some of the biggest Claude Code fans are running it continuously in the background, 24/7. These uses are remarkable and we want to enable them. But a few outlying cases are very costly to support. For example, one user consumed tens of thousands in model usage on a $200 plan.

From August 28, we’ll introduce new weekly limits that’ll mitigate these problems while impacting as few customers as possible. We’ll also support Max plan users buying additional usage at standard API rates, if they choose to.
