In response to a significant increase in users, Anthropic has implemented tighter usage limits on its AI model, Claude. The adjustments include restrictions during peak hours and an overall throttling of subscriptions to manage demand. Many Claude users have expressed frustration over rapidly draining usage limits, particularly after promotional offers. Users are actively seeking strategies to cope with these new restrictions while questioning the transparency of the usage policies. Anthropic has acknowledged the situation, noting adjustments have been made to the system in light of the surging demand for Claude as a ChatGPT competitor.
