Anthropic doubled rate limits across all paid Claude Code plans on 6 May 2026, citing newly-available compute from the SpaceX Colossus 1 supercomputer deal — 220,000+ NVIDIA GPUs and 300 megawatts of power. The change is the first observable downstream effect of the Colossus arrangement and lands as Claude Code becomes the most-used surface inside Anthropic, by token count, ahead of Claude.ai. Heavy users — agentic harnesses, IDE plugins, terminal sessions running long-context tools — were the practical bottleneck the previous tier had been throttling.
