Anthropic has announced the implementation of new weekly rate limits for Claude to address excessive usage among subscribers running its AI coding tool nonstop. The company aims to deter users from violating usage policies by sharing accounts or reselling access to Claude Code.
### Weekly Rate Limits and Plans
The new rate limits will take effect on August 28 for subscribers to Anthropic’s Pro, Max, and Max plans. Existing usage limits will remain, with the addition of two new weekly rate limits that reset every seven days, one for overall usage and one specific to Claude’s advanced AI model, Claude Opus 4.
### Usage Details
Pro users can expect 40 to 80 hours of Sonnet 4 through Claude Code within their weekly limit, while Max plan subscribers will have extended usage. Anthropic emphasizes that rate limits are based on tokens rather than time, with the Max plan offering significantly more usage than the Pro plan.
### Industry Trends
The move comes amid a trend of AI tool providers revising pricing strategies to prevent abuse by power users. Anthropic acknowledges resource constraints and plans to explore additional options for long-running use cases in the future.
Anthropic’s initiative reflects the evolving landscape of AI tool pricing and usage regulation, aiming to ensure reliable service for all subscribers while maintaining fair access to its innovative AI coding tool, Claude Code.
