Increase usage limits and announce SpaceX compute deal

## What changed Anthropic raised usage limits for Claude on May 6, 2026. Free tier users gained more messages per day. Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans received larger context windows and higher rate caps.

The company also announced a compute partnership with SpaceX. The deal supplies additional GPU capacity to support the new limits and future model training.

## Why it matters Higher limits reduce interruptions for builders who run repeated prompts in Notion or Zapier workflows. The SpaceX arrangement gives Anthropic dedicated hardware that competitors cannot easily match in the short term.

This choice signals a focus on reliability over rapid feature releases. It pressures other providers to secure similar infrastructure or risk losing heavy users who need consistent output.

## How to use it Log into claude.ai and open the account settings page. Select your current plan to view the updated daily and hourly caps listed there.

Team and Enterprise administrators can adjust per-user allocations in the admin console starting immediately. No code changes are required in existing Zapier or Make automations.

## Watch for Sustained performance during evening peak hours will confirm the infrastructure bet. Frequent throttling or new waitlists would break the promise. Expect Anthropic to announce a follow-on model or regional data center expansion within six months.
