Summary

Anthropic's Claude code service is adjusting its rate limits, particularly during peak morning hours, which has sparked significant user frustration. The changes mean users will move through their 5-hour session limits faster during weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Pacific time, potentially impacting around 7% of users who will now hit session limits they previously did not. The speaker suggests these changes are necessary as the current subscription model was unsustainably subsidizing compute costs, with users potentially consuming up to $5,000 of compute for a $200 monthly plan.
