Next month, we're introducing new weekly rate limits for Claude subscribers, affecting less than 5% of users based on current usage patterns.
Claude Code, especially as part of our subscription bundle, has seen unprecedented growth. At the same time, we\u2019ve identified policy violations like account sharing and reselling access\u2014and advanced usage patterns like running Claude 24/7 in the background\u2014that are impacting system capacity for all. Our new rate limits address these issues and provide a more equitable experience for all users.
What\u2019s changing:
Starting August 28, we're introducing weekly usage limits alongside our existing 5-hour limits:
Current: Usage limit that resets every 5 hours (no change)\n New: Overall weekly limit that resets every 7 days\n New: Claude Opus 4 weekly limit that resets every 7 days\n As we learn more about how developers use Claude Code, we may adjust usage limits to better serve our community. \n Most users won't notice any difference. The weekly limits are designed to support typical daily use across your projects. \n Most Max 20x users can expect 240-480 hours of Sonnet 4 and 24-40 hours of Opus 4 within their weekly rate limits. Heavy Opus users with large codebases or those running multiple Claude Code instances in parallel will hit their limits sooner.\n If you do reach a weekly usage limit, you\u2019ll have the option to purchase more usage at standard API rates to continue working without interruption. This is completely optional.\n You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in Settings.\nWe also recognize that during this same period, users have encountered several reliability and performance issues. We've been working to fix these as quickly as possible and will continue addressing any remaining issues over the coming days and weeks.

this month, our devops engineer went on leave. On the same day, usage spiked on our opensource API. Disabled tokens were making 1000s of rps causing heavy load. Not wanting to disturb our devops engineer, we tried IP blocking in CF, which didn't help because requests were coming in from 100s of IPs (probably app users).
We then saw - on the same page - CF's new rate-limiter. It seemed great, and I think it said '1 free rule'. We quickly set it up to rate limit to a few rps. This also did not work, because there were multiple tokens making requests from 100s of IPs. We finally ended up filtering those tokens out on NGINX.
Fast forward to yesterday when we got the bill. I don't usually open them because it's always $40/month. This time we added their LBs (they don't support session stickiness, so again, beware) so I was curious about the charge.
$876.
$90 for the LB, fine. But the clincher? $721 for the 'rate-limiter'.
Here's why we have an issue with this:
1. Rate-limiting did not work for us. 144 million requests passed through. 28 requests were rate-limited. 28. (facepalm)
2. The pricing is misleading; In the heat of things, I only remember it saying '1 free rate-limiting rule' and missed their note on usage pricing. Yes, silly of me to assume that CF would continue their claim-to-fame as the single unmetered vendor. You have to click the 'usage' link nearby and read the blog post to understand pricing.
3. No billing alerts whatsoever. When usage is over 20x of a user's monthly charge, you'd expect some form of an alert. To put this in a USD -INR context, that's ~2 month's salary for our devops guy.
We absolutely love CF and have been evangelizing them since we started using them 2 years ago. I've reached out to support and their first response was to say there'd be no refund. Let's see how this plays out. :-)

realized today that my upvotes on comments have either delayed or no effect, while my upvotes on submissions seem immediate, but with the odd inability to unvote without a long delay or no effect. To test this, I did the following:
1. COMMENTS: \nUpvoted several recent comments of different users through different threads. Refreshed their user profile in separate tab (multiple times) and observed no increase/decrease in karma. Same results when going back and forth refreshing same tab. Removing cache nor using a separate browser (not logged in) had any effect.
2. \nSUBMISSIONS:\nUsing the same method as above, I upvoted several submissions in new (but older) status. Strangely, the submission would rise by one point, but after unvoting, would remain unaffected, but possibly retract with a significant delay.
I can certainly imagine a purpose or reason for delays, but I'd never noticed previously. My effect (or ineffect) on comments does seem new.

there,
Next month, we're introducing new weekly rate limits for Claude subscribers, affecting less than 5% of users based on current usage patterns.
Claude Code, especially as part of our subscription bundle, has seen unprecedented growth. At the same time, we\u2019ve identified policy violations like account sharing and reselling access\u2014and advanced usage patterns like running Claude 24/7 in the background\u2014that are impacting system capacity for all. Our new rate limits address these issues and provide a more equitable experience for all users.
What\u2019s changing:
Starting August 28, we're introducing weekly usage limits alongside our existing 5-hour limits:
Current: Usage limit that resets every 5 hours (no change)\n New: Overall weekly limit that resets every 7 days\n New: Claude Opus 4 weekly limit that resets every 7 days\n As we learn more about how developers use Claude Code, we may adjust usage limits to better serve our community. \n Most users won't notice any difference. The weekly limits are designed to support typical daily use across your projects. \n Most Max 5x users can expect 140-280 hours of Sonnet 4 and 15-35 hours of Opus 4 within their weekly rate limits. Heavy Opus users with large codebases or those running multiple Claude Code instances in parallel will hit their limits sooner.\n You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in Settings.\nWe also recognize that during this same period, users have encountered several reliability and performance issues. We've been working to fix these as quickly as possible, and will continue addressing any remaining issues over the coming days and weeks.

all,
I\u2019m building a project called Rately. It\u2019s a rate-limiting service that runs on Cloudflare Workers (so at the edge, close to your clients).
The idea is simple: instead of only limiting by IP, you can set rules based on your own data \u2014 things like:
- URL params (/users/:id/posts \u2192 limit per user ID)
- Query params (?api_key=123 \u2192 limit per API key)
- Headers (X-Org-ID, Authorization, etc.)
Example:
Say your API has an endpoint /user/42/posts. With Rately you can tell it: \u201capply a limit of 100 requests/min per userId\u201d.
So user 42 and user 99 each get their own bucket automatically. No custom nginx or middleware needed.
It has two working modes:
- Proxy mode \u2013 you point your API domain (CNAME) to Rately. Requests come in, Rately enforces your limits, then forwards to your origin. Easiest drop-in.
```\nClient ---> Rately (enforce limits) ---> Origin API\n```
- Control plane mode \u2013 you keep running your own API as usual, but your code or middleware can call Rately\u2019s API to ask \u201cis this request allowed?\u201d before handling it. Gives you more flexibility without routing all traffic through Rately.
```\nClient ---> Your API ---> Rately /check (allow/deny) ---> Your API logic\n```
I\u2019m looking for a few developers with APIs who want to test it out.
