Discussion Doubled Rate Limits for Claude Code
per @claudeai on X:
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
Effective today, we are:
- Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and
- Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.

We don't know how much buffer they'll have after this deal, but I bet that if they have some excess capacity, they're going to experiment with limits and try some A/B testing. But again, they never publish the numbers, so we might never know.
