Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
May 6, 2026
Anthropic has secured access to SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center, adding 300MW of capacity across 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, effective immediately. Claude Code rate limits double for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise tiers, with peak-hour throttling eliminated. Combined with Amazon's 5GW, Google/Broadcom's 5GW, and Microsoft/NVIDIA's $30B Azure agreements, Anthropic's total committed infrastructure now spans tens of gigawatts. High-volume API users hitting Opus rate limits and Claude Code power users should upgrade or renegotiate contracts now.
