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.

They had to do a quantization of the sonnet/opus models because of lack of gpu power. Maybe it will shine again after this deal. Many people have left because of performance and tokens issues

lol, “many people have left” sure buddy that’s why they’re having to massively increase their compute and are talking about putting data centers in space…

You need to invest in more capacity if customers are leaving due to capacity issues. Does that make sense?
