`Claude Code` doubles 5-hour limits, drops peak-hour throttling

Heavy users can stay in session longer and hit fewer slowdowns. Better Claude Code throughput now; the SpaceX compute story matters only because it unlocks higher real limits.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Paid Claude Code tiers now get 2x the five-hour quota, which directly reduces session cutoffs during long coding runs.
  2. Pro and Max no longer face peak-hour limit reductions, so daytime usage becomes more predictable.
  3. Claude Opus API rate limits also rise considerably, improving headroom for agent loops and batch workloads.
  4. SpaceX's Colossus 1 adds 300MW+ and 220,000+ NVIDIA GPUs within a month, with capacity routed to paid subscribers first.
