1 week agoAnthropic throttles Claude subscriptions to meet capacity
Anthropic is limiting usage of Claude subscriptions during peak hours to manage demand and prevent system overloads.
From March 13 to March 27, users on Free, Pro, Max, and Team plans will get double the usage limits in a five-hour window when using Claude outside weekday hours between 8 AM and 2 PM ET. According to Anthropic, the promotion is automatic, and users don't have to enable anything to get the benefits.
I have been using Claude AI (and some ChatGPT and some Perplexity). I even subscribed to the $20 monthly plan for Claude. Recently I exceeded my allowed time (or number of entries or some limit) and was cut off and told that I could return in 5 hours. Since then I've been unable to use it. I've tried shutting it down and restarting and clearing cache in my browser.
