Anthropic unveils new rate limits to curb Claude Code power users

Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, has announced new rate limits for its language model, Claude, in an effort to curb power users. The changes will affect subscribers to Anthropic's Pro ($20/month), Max ($100/month), and Max Plus ($200/month) plans, and will take effect on August 28. The new rate limits aim to balance accessibility and responsible usage of the AI system. Power users, who generate a high volume of outputs from Claude, will now face reduced daily limits on the number of characters they can produce. This move is intended to ensure a more equitable distribution of the AI's resources and prevent individual users from monopolizing the system. Anthropic has stated that these changes are necessary to maintain the overall quality and reliability of the Claude platform. The company emphasizes its commitment to providing a sustainable and accessible AI service to its diverse user base.
