An anonymous reader shares a report:
> Since Monday morning, Claude Code users have been [1]hit with unexpectedly restrictive usage limits . The problems, many of which have been aired on Claude Code's GitHub page, seem to be concentrated among heavy users of the service, many of whom are on the $200-a-month Max plan.
>
> Users are only told "Claude usage limit reached," and given a time (typically within a matter of hours) when the limit will reset. But with no explicit announcement of a change in limits, many users have concluded that their subscription has been downgraded or that their usage is being inaccurately tracked.
>
> "Your tracking of usage limits has changed and is no longer accurate," one user complained. "There is no way in the 30 minutes of a few requests I have hit the 900 messages." When reached for comment, an Anthropic representative confirmed the issues but declined to elaborate further.
