Claude Code Docs·medium signal
At Code with Claude, Anthropic doubled Claude Code's five-hour rate limits across Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans and eliminated peak-hours throttling for Pro and Max accounts. Also added --plugin-url flag for URL-based plugin loading and CLAUDE_CODE_PACKAGE_MANAGER_AUTO_UPDATE for automatic Homebrew/WinGet updates. Practical impact: long coding sessions no longer hit walls during business hours.
