If you noticed higher-than-expected rate limit usage with Claude Opus 4.7 today, that’s been fixed.
The issue: rate limits on Claude subscriptions weren’t properly adjusted for long context requests in Opus 4.7. Since Opus 4.7 uses more thinking tokens than previous versions, the old limits were eating through quotas faster than intended.
The fix includes both the bug correction and an increase to rate limits across all subscription tiers to account for the higher token usage going forward.
