ANTHROPIC TIGHTENS USAGE LIMITS FOR CLAUDE CODE – WITHOUT TELLING USERS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Claude Code users have been hit with unexpectedly restrictive usage limits since Monday morning, particularly among heavy users of the service. There was no announcement about any change in limits, so many users have concluded that their subscription was downgraded or their usage is being inaccurately tracked. Anthropic has acknowledged the issue but declined to elaborate further. Anthropic's pricing system sets tiered limits without ever guaranteeing a set level of access, leaving users unable to plan around usage limits.
