From PC Mag: Anthropic has introduced weekly rate limits for its Claude chatbot focused on curbing excessive—and forbidden—usage of Claude Code.
"Claude Code has experienced unprecedented demand since launch [on June 4]," the company says. "However, we've identified extreme usage by a small number of customers that impacts capacity for our broader community."
The rate limits take effect on Aug. 28 for those who subscribe to the $20-per-month Pro plan, $100 Max plan, and $200 Max plan.
The problem is that some subscribers are selling access to their login credentials to help cover the cost of premium plans.
