Anthropic Doubles Context Limits, 1500% API Token Surge
Anthropic has doubled Claude context and token limits across every paid plan and lifted peak-hour restrictions for Pro and Max subscribers. API Tier-1 input tokens per minute increased by 1500% simultaneously. The upgrades are powered by a new Anthropic-SpaceX compute deal providing access to over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs on the Colossus cluster — the same infrastructure Cursor is using to train its next model.
Why It Matters
This is the most significant capacity expansion Anthropic has made in a single move, with direct practical impact on long-context agentic workloads, Claude Code sessions, and any team hitting rate limits. Higher throughput floors remove a key friction point for production deployments.
