Anthropic has reset all 5-hour and weekly rate limits for Claude users, handing everyone a fresh allocation to finish the week with full access to the model.

The blanket reset clears accumulated usage caps that had been throttling heavy users toward the end of their cycles. It follows a stretch of capacity complaints and arrives as Anthropic pushes Claude Code and Cowork adoption — a goodwill move that buys headroom for users mid-week without changing the underlying tier limits.
