Anthropic reduces Claude usage allowances during peak hours to manage capacity
Anthropic on Wednesday adjusted Claude's session limits for Free, Pro, and Max subscribers during peak demand hours (05:00-11:00 PT / 13:00-19:00 GMT). Users can now consume five hours of allowance in under five hours during these periods, while off-peak usage maintains standard pacing. Approximately 7% of Pro tier users will hit limits they previously wouldn't have encountered.
