Anthropic is increasing usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API following a new compute deal with SpaceX. Thanks to extra computing power from the Colossus 1 data center, users of Pro, Max, and Enterprise plans will receive more capacity and smoother access to AI functionality.
Anthropic announces improvements for users of Claude Code and the Claude API. Through a partnership with SpaceX, the company is expanding its computing power, which directly results in higher usage limits. These changes are particularly relevant for companies and developers who rely on powerful AI infrastructure.
The announcement follows previous major investments and partnerships by Anthropic with parties such as Amazon, Google, Broadcom, Microsoft, and Nvidia.
Doubled limits
Usage limits for Claude Code have been doubled immediately for customers with a Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise subscription. Additionally, peak hour restrictions for Pro and Max accounts have been completely removed, allowing these users to work more flexibly. API rate limits for Claude Opus models have also been increased, enabling developers to build applications faster and more efficiently.
These adjustments are primarily intended to improve the experience for the most intensive users. According to Anthropic, they meet the growing need for larger and more flexible AI resources within organizations.
Extra capacity
Through an agreement with SpaceX, Anthropic gains access to more than 300 megawatts of extra capacity, equivalent to over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs. This expansion is intended to provide immediate additional capacity to Claude’s Pro and Max subscribers. The deal with SpaceX complements previous agreements, including up to five gigawatts of capacity with Amazon, Google/Broadcom, and a strategic partnership with Microsoft and Nvidia.
