AI pioneer Anthropic has revealed plans to introduce weekly usage limits for Claude AI subscribers. Reports indicate that a select group of users, particularly those heavily reliant on the Claude Code programming tool, have been utilizing the service around the clock. Effective August 28, 2025, Anthropic will enforce new weekly aggregate usage caps, which will coexist with the existing 5-hour cyclical limit. The company emphasizes that these measures are anticipated to impact approximately 5% of the user base, a percentage that, given Claude's vast subscriber pool, still translates to a notable number of individuals.
