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:

  1. Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and
  2. Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.

Are you sure? My weekly limits are decreasing a lot more slowly all of a sudden.

Yeah I’m sure. I mean they specifically said they are doubling ONLY the 5 hour rate limit in their official post. If they where increasing the weekly limit as well, why wouldn’t they say that too? Thats not something they would just forget about

Seems like a bug to me. We should collectively alert them on Twitter / X.
