Anthropic removes Claude Ultra 5-hour cap, shifts focus to weekly limits

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Anthropic has removed the five-hour usage cap for its premium Claude Ultra plan, allowing for longer continuous AI sessions. However, a weekly usage limit remains in place, which users are now advised to budget carefully. This change mirrors a similar removal of session limits by OpenAI for its Codex Pro plan several months prior, leaving weekly caps as the primary constraint for both services. Users are encouraged to monitor their usage to avoid exceeding these weekly allowances. AI

IMPACT Shifts user focus to weekly budgeting for AI services, mirroring OpenAI's earlier changes.
