Claude Code Max plan rate-limit lockout bug

March 29, 2026Wes Roth, Jeffrey Emanuel

Jeffrey Emanuel says new low rate limits make Claude Code unusable when running multiple agents, raising churn risk for heavy users who parallelize work.

Following a weekend of expanded usage allowances, Anthropic’s highest-tier subscribers are waking up to a crippling rate-limit bug.
Developers paying top dollar for the "Claude Max" ($100/mo) and "Max 20x" ($200/mo) plans are reporting that their accounts are being locked out
this recent introduction of ridiculously low rate limits has basically rendered Claude Code useless to me.
It kicks in with like 3 or 4 agents going at once.
They really need to change this or I'm going to cancel all of my accounts soon.
