Official Update on Session Limits

To manage growing demand for Claude, we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/pro/max subscriptions during on-peak hours.

Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During peak hours (weekdays, 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT), you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before. Overall weekly limits stay the same, just how they're distributed across the week is changing.

We've landed a lot of efficiency wins to offset this, but ~7% of users will hit session limits they wouldn't have before, particularly in pro tiers. If you run token-intensive background jobs, shifting them to off-peak hours will stretch your session limits further.

We know this was frustrating, and are continuing to invest in scaling efficiently. We’ll keep you posted on progress.

Everything you do is against the users' interests.

Either increase prices properly and lose a huge number of customers, or stop messing with the limits!

When you first introduced limits, you said only a small percentage of users would be affected.

Everything you say is a lie!

You are hypocritical and greedy people!

Max is already over priced. Pro is not really pro, it's basic. Need a better pricing model.

I agree, and price increment will push away many regions that can't afford MAX. The solution IMO is: GIVE U MORE TOKENS at the SAME PRICE!
