Anthropic imposes weekly limits on Claude code to curb misuse and ensure fair access

Anthropic is introducing new weekly usage caps on its Claude Code tool starting August 28, targeting overuse, continuous sessions, and account sharing, while maintaining stable access for the broader user base.

Anthropic has announced new weekly usage limits for its Claude AI coding assistant, Claude Code, set to roll out from August 28 for Pro, Team, and Business plan users. The decision aims to address a small segment of power users, less than 5%, who have been running the tool non-stop or engaging in account sharing, which affects overall system reliability. The move is designed to curb misuse, improve fairness, and ensure consistent access for typical users. While limits vary by plan, Anthropic affirms that most subscribers won' be impacted.

It marks a shift toward responsible AI access and platform governance.
