Claude Code Weekly Rate Limits

Anthropic is implementing weekly rate limits for Claude Code subscribers due to unprecedented growth, policy violations (account sharing, reselling), and advanced usage patterns impacting system capacity. The changes, effective August 28th, introduce weekly usage limits alongside existing 5-hour limits. The goal is to provide a more equitable experience. Most users are not expected to be significantly affected. The announcement highlights the potential impact on heavy Opus users and the ability to manage or cancel subscriptions.
