Anthropic doubles Claude Code limits for paid users

Anthropic is doubling Claude Code's five-hour rate limits for paid plans and removing peak-hours reductions for Pro and Max users. The update should make long coding sessions and background agent workflows less interruptive.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: this is the kind of update that matters more than a splashy model announcement for day-to-day users, because fewer interruptions make Claude Code feel much more usable in real work.

–Better fit for sustained coding sessions and background automation.
–Most relevant to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users who were bumping into limits.
–Signals Anthropic is prioritizing usability and retention for power users.
