Anthropic: We're Glad You Like Claude Code, But Stop Reselling Access

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. However, that violates Anthropic's policy and drives up usage on each account. Others "are turning Claude AI Pro account sharing into a small side hustle by renting access or offering AI-powered services based on it," says DICloak.com
