Anthropic is working with SpaceX to address the capacity shortage. Through this partnership, the company has already increased Claude Code request limits starting May 6th.
“As of today, we are increasing request limits for developers on Claude Code and the Claude platform,” Anthropic Chief Product Officer Ami Vora said during Code for Claude on May 6, 2026, The Register reports .
Specifically, the company doubled the five-hour Claude Code limits for Pro, Max, Team, and enterprise pay-per-seat plans, and increased API limits for the Claude Opus model.
Anthropic is also removing peak hour limit reductions for Claude Code users on Pro and Max accounts.
According to Vora, this was made possible by a partnership with SpaceX, which expands the available capacity for inference. Anthropic has entered into an agreement to use all of SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center capacity.
As SpaceX notes, Colossus 1 is equipped with more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, including a mass deployment of H100, H200, and next-generation GB200 accelerators.
The deal, which will add more than 300 megawatts of new capacity within a month, follows similar computing deals with Amazon and Google/Broadcom.
