Anthropic to Introduce Weekly Rate Limits on Claude Code, Affecting Less Than 5% of Pro and Max Users

Anthropic announced it will implement new weekly rate limits for its Claude Pro and Max AI models starting in late August 2025. The company cited excessive usage by a small subset of users, including continuous 24/7 operation and account sharing or reselling, as the primary reasons for the restrictions. These limits are expected to affect fewer than 5% of subscribers based on current usage patterns. While most Pro users will retain 40 to 80 hours of access to Claude Code weekly, additional usage for Max plan subscribers will be available at standard API pricing. The move aims to manage resource consumption and curb abuse amid rising demand for Claude Code, which has been a leading AI model for coding over the past year. Some developers have expressed concerns about the impact of these limits on their workflows, especially as competition from models like GPT-5 intensifies. Anthropic emphasized that the new policy targets extreme usage behaviors that violate its terms of service.
