Anthropic just partnered with SpaceX and doubled Claude Code rate limits effective today

May 6, 2026
Anthropic secured compute access to SpaceX's Colossus 1 facility, adding 300+ megawatts and 220,000+ NVIDIA GPUs to its infrastructure stack, which already includes 5GW Amazon, 5GW Google/Broadcom, $30B Azure, and $50B Fluidstack capacity. Effective today, Claude Code 5-hour rate limits are doubled across Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise tiers, peak-hour throttling is eliminated, and Opus API limits are raised. Developers hitting daily ceilings on agentic coding workflows get immediate relief without tier upgrades. The orbital compute angle is speculative but signals Anthropic is competing aggressively on raw inference capacity against OpenAI and Google infrastructure scale.
