Anthropic's New Rate Limits
- Anthropic introduced new weekly rate limits on Claude Code due to unprecedented demand and heavy usage by some users.
- These limits aim to control costs and maintain fair access without impacting most users initially.
Options Beyond Weekly Limits
- Users hitting their weekly limits can opt to buy extra usage at standard API rates to continue working without interruption.
- This pay-as-you-go approach provides flexibility for projects with heavy or unpredictable compute needs.
24/7 Cloud Code User Example
- McKay Wrigley ran a project called Cloudputer using Cloud Code 24/7, showing a high-demand use case.
- His continuous usage exemplified extreme resource consumption prompting the new limits.
