We estimate they\u2019ll apply to less than 5% of subscribers based on current usage,&#8221; Anthropic <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AnthropicAI\/status\/1949898502688903593\">said <\/a>on X. &#8220;Some of the biggest Claude Code fans are running it continuously in the background, 24\/7. These uses are remarkable and we want to enable them. But a few outlying cases are very costly to support. For example, one user consumed tens of thousands in model usage on a $200 plan,&#8221; it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In other cases, a small number of users are violating our usage policies by sharing and reselling accounts. This impacts capacity for all Claude users, and we\u2019re taking appropriate action to stop it,&#8221; Anthropic said. &#8220;From August 28, we\u2019ll introduce new weekly limits that\u2019ll mitigate these problems while impacting as few customers as possible. We\u2019ll also support Max plan users buying additional usage at standard API rates, if they choose to.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>X users largely seemed largely unhappy with the new rules. &#8220;This was a stupid move. Qwen 3 models, <a href=\"https:\/\/officechai.com\/ai\/chinese-company-moonshot-ai-releases-kimi-k2-becomes-top-open-source-model-on-some-benchmarks\/\">Kimi k2<\/a> and now ZAI have dropped and Anthropic thought that this was the best time to give stricter rate limits,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/kingdavidyonko\/status\/1950202065013059699\">wrote <\/a>a user. Others threatened to cancel their subscriptions over the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anthropic also sent users a mail saying that under the new rules, Max users can expect 240-480 hours of Sonnet 4 use and 24-40 hours of Opus 4 use weekly. Users who hit the weekly limit will have an option to purchase more compute at standard API rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"788\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-39-832x1024.png?resize=640%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53809 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-39.png?resize=832%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-39.png?resize=244%2C300&amp;ssl=1 244w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-39.png?resize=768%2C945&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-39.png?w=963&amp;ssl=1 963w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/788;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Claude&#8217;s models are especially popular among coders, who find their performance to be superior to those dished out by its competitors. Agents like <a href=\"https:\/\/officechai.com\/ai\/80-of-claude-codes-code-is-written-by-claude-code-anthropic-lead-engineer\/\">Claude Code<\/a> can run for long periods in the background, and users can spin up multiple instances of each agent. As such, power users of these models likely were likely using up massive amounts of compute, and have forced Anthropic to pull back on its unlimited plans. It remains to be seen how competitors react to this move, but it does seem that unlimited access to models &#8212; while compute is still relatively expensive &#8212; might not be sustainable in the long term for most model companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many AI companies had started off with seemingly unlimited $200 per month plans, but some of them now seem to
