Anthropic just partnered with SpaceX and doubled Claude Code rate limits effective today Big news dropped this morning. Anthropic signed a deal to use all compute capacity at SpaceX’s Colossus 1 data center. That’s 300+ megawatts and over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs coming online within the month. But the part that actually matters to developers right now: What changed today:
- Claude Code 5-hour rate limits are doubled (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise)
- Peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code is removed for Pro and Max
- API rate limits for Claude Opus models raised considerably This is on top of their existing compute deals 5 GW with Amazon, 5 GW with Google/Broadcom, $30B of Azure capacity with Microsoft and NVIDIA, and $50B in infrastructure with Fluidstack. They also mentioned interest in developing orbital AI compute with SpaceX. Which is a sentence I did not expect to read in 2026. For those of us building with Claude Code daily, the doubled limits + no more peak hour throttling is the headline. Rate limits have been the most frustrating bottleneck when you’re deep in a long coding session. Anyone else noticing a difference already? submitted by /u/Direct-Attention8597
