Claude の利用制限引き上げとスペースXとの計算資源契約

We’ve agreed to a partnership with SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

Below, we describe these changes and the progress we’re making on compute.

The following three changes—all effective today—are aimed at improving the experience of using Claude for our most dedicated customers.

First, we’re doubling Claude Code’s five-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans.

Second, we’re removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max accounts.

Third, we’re raising our API rate limits considerably for Claude Opus models, as shown in the table below:

New compute partnership with SpaceX

We’ve signed an agreement with SpaceX to use all of the compute capacity at their Colossus 1 data center. This gives us access to more than 300 megawatts of new capacity (over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs) within the month. This additional capacity will directly improve capacity for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers.

This joins our other significant compute announcements:

• An up to 5 gigawatt (GW) agreement with Amazon, which includes nearly 1 GW of new capacity by the end of 2026;
• A 5 GW agreement with Google and Broadcom, which will begin coming online in 2027;
• A strategic partnership with Microsoft and NVIDIA that includes $30 billion of Azure capacity;
• Our $50 billion investment in American AI infrastructure with Fluidstack.

We train and run Claude on a range of AI hardware—AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs—and continue to explore opportunities to bring additional capacity online.

As part of this agreement, we have also expressed interest in partnering with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity.

Expanding internationally

Our enterprise customers—particularly those in regulated industries like financial services, healthcare, and government—increasingly need in-region infrastructure to meet compliance and data residency requirements. Accordingly, some of our capacity expansion will be international: our recently announced collaboration with Amazon includes additional inference in Asia and Europe.

We’re very intentional about where we’ll add capacity—partnering with democratic countries whose legal and regulatory frameworks support investments of this scale, and where the supply chain on which our compute depends—hardware, networking, and facilities—will be secure.

Finally, we recently made a commitment to cover any consumer electricity price increases caused by our data centers in the US. As part of our international expansion, we’re exploring ways to extend that commitment to new jurisdictions, as well as partnering with local leaders to invest back into the communities that host our facilities.
