Claude Code doubles limits, removes peak caps

This is less a product launch than a capacity unlock: Anthropic is signaling that Claude Code demand has gotten big enough to justify loosening the leash for paid users.

• –The biggest practical win is fewer mid-session shutdowns for heavy coding work, especially long refactors and agentic runs.
• –Removing peak-hour throttling on Pro and Max suggests Anthropic is smoothing out the worst user experience without changing the core subscription model.
• –The SpaceX compute deal matters because this kind of limit increase usually tracks infrastructure, not generosity.
• –For AI developers, this strengthens Claude Code’s position as a serious daily driver, not just a nice-to-have assistant.
• –The move also keeps Anthropic competitive with other coding agents that are racing on reliability and throughput, not just model quality.
