Anthropic Raises Claude Code Weekly Limits 50% Through July 13 — Anti-Codex Retention Play

r/ClaudeAI·high signal

Anthropic increased Claude Code weekly usage limits by 50% for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users, effective May 13 through July 13, 2026. The move follows earlier May 6 doubling of five-hour rate limits and removal of peak-hour throttling. Community widely interprets this as a competitive response to OpenAI's Codex launch, with the two-month promotional window suggesting Anthropic is buying time while scaling capacity via its recent SpaceX compute partnership.
