Anthropic announced that it will reduce the speed at which users burn through Claude's five‑hour session limits during weekday peak periods (5 a.m.‑11 a.m. PT / 1 p.m.‑7 p.m. GMT). Weekly limits stay the same, but the new rule means users will reach their session caps faster in those windows, affecting roughly seven percent of subscribers, especially those on Pro tiers. The change was disclosed by engineer Thariq Shihipar on X rather than through official channels, prompting frustration among users who must now plan usage more strategically. Read more

The system asks for permission before taking actions, and Anthropic advises against using it for sensitive data. The feature launches as a research preview for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers on macOS and integrates with the Dispatch messaging platform. Read more
