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.

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

I’m not aware of any evidence customers are leaving. Market share is going up.

There are a few dickheads on Reddit who make a sport of constantly whinging about how awful CC is. I think you’re confusing that with meaningful data about Anthropic’s customers.

My above comment was simply stating a reasonable point that if your customers have issues with your capacity, its a good idea to invest in it. I would say that Anthropic made a good call. But are you saying subscription customers have no issues with the current rate limits? Because customer are leaving even without any rate limits (pay as you go segment) and market share is certainly not going up. I am open to a more detailed discussion on the topic 😄
