Anthropic has implemented stricter usage limits for its AI model, Claude, without prior notification to users. This change is expected to impact how developers and businesses utilize the technology, raising concerns about transparency and user communication.

Anthropic has launched a new subscription tier called Claude Max, priced between $100 and $200 per month, which offers significantly higher usage limits for its Claude AI assistant in response to user complaints about existing rate limits. With two options providing five and twenty times more usage than the previous Pro plan, the Max tier also includes priority access to new features and higher output limits, aligning with pricing strategies seen in competitor OpenAI's offerings.
