Sale Monday morning, Claude Code users were affected with Axpectly restrictive use limits. The problems, many of which have been broadcast on Claude Code’s Github pageSee to be concentrated between heavy users of the service, many of which are on the Max level from $ 200 per month.

Users are told only “Limite of use of Claude reached” and assigned once (generally a few hours) when the limit will restore. But without any explicit announcement of a change within the limits, many users have concluded that their subscription has been downgraded or that its use is traced in an inaccural way.

“Your monitoring of the use limits has changed and is not accurate for accidents”, ” A user complained. “In the 30 minutes of some requests that I hit the 900 messages.”

When he reached the way an anthropic representative confirmed the outlet to decline to further process. “We are awake that Claude Code’s users are sometimes experiencing slower response times,” said the representative, “and we are working to solve them”.

The change was alarming for the uses, which have not received any notice of the changes and no guide on what to expect in the future. A user, who asked not to be identified, said that it was impossible to advance his project since the use limits the camera in force. “He just stopped the opportunity to progress,” said the user in Techcrunch. “I tried Gemelli and Kimi, but there is really tit that it is the competition with the skill set of Claude Code right now.”

These problems emerged together with wider problems within the anthropic network. Many API users have reported overload errors In the same period, e The company’s status page Six separated shows in the last four days. Remarkable, the network still shows time for 100% activities for the week.

While the loading errors are on the agenda, the new anthropic approach for the use of the limits caused significant confusion among users, many of whom were not aware of being subject to use limits. Part of the confusion comes from the anthropic price system, the limits of which on several levels before guaranteeing a predetermined level of access. The most expensive maximum plan, at the price of $ 200 per month, has promised limits of use 20 times higher Of a professional subscription. The pro plan, in turn, limits the bidders Five times higher Free plan. But anthropic says the free user limit “will vary how“And not set an absolute value. The result leaves users unable to plan the surrounding limits, since they do not have a clear idea of when their service will be limited.

The maximum of $ 200 plan was particularly popular with the heavy users of the service, with some that saw the asstable long -term anthropic plan. The user we talked to said that the plan often allows him to make calls of over $ 1,000 (measured in the prices of the API) in a single day. As a result, it was surprised to use limits that were becoming more restrictive, but hoped that the company communicated the changes more clearly.

“Be only transparent,” he said. “The lack of communication only makes people trust people.”
