Claude Code's product lead talks usage limits, transparency, and the "lean harness"

Anthropic doubled Claude Code usage limits on Pro and Max plans after compute constraints frustrated users.

At Code with Claude, product lead Cat Wu said the team has no fixed long-term roadmap for Claude Code.

Instead, Anthropic is iterating quickly across CLI, IDE, desktop, and multi-agent features as the product evolves.

The approach reflects the pressure to balance user demand, infrastructure limits, and fast-moving competition in AI coding tools.
