Subscribe Now A few weeks after announcing rate limits for Claude and the popular Claude Code, Anthropic will offer Claude Enterprise and Teams customers upgrades to access more usage and Claude Code in a single subscription. The upgrades will also include more admin controls and a new Compliance API that will give enterprises "access to usage data and customer content for better observability, auditing and governance." Anthropic said in a post that with a single subscription to Claude and Claude Code, users "can move seamlessly between ideation and implementation, while admins get the visibility and controls they need to scale Claude across their organization." The premium seats, separate from the standard seats that most everyone in the organization receives, can be used with both Claude and Claude Code. Admins can assign individuals premium seats based on their role in the organization. Throttled rates Anthropic's announcement of additional usage for Enterprise and Teams users sparked criticism, with critics demanding that the company remove rate limits for Claude. The company said rate limits, which will begin on August 28, would free up space for more projects and deter people who "abuse" the system by overusing Claude Code. In an email, Anthropic told VentureBeat that the existing five-hour usage limits still stand for premium seats on Enterprise and Team, the same as for users of Max 5x. "Now with the new Claude Code bundle, both standard (Claude.ai access) and premium (Claude.ai + Claude Code access) seats have the option for extra usage and admins have robust seat management controls so that power users can continue their workflows with Claude however they need," Anthropic said through a spokesperson. Admin and compliance control The draw for the upgrades, Anthropic said, revolves around the additional controls and enterprise-ready features. "While individual Max plans work for personal use, the Enterprise bundle provides the security, compliance, analytics, and management capabilities that organizations need at scale," the company said. Anthropic noted enterprise customers often have to choose between speed and governance, so bringing in admin controls and compliance features "solves that tradeoff by letting teams move seamlessly between planning in Claude and building in the terminal using Claude Code." It also consolidates expenses using Claude Code from individual accounts to the broader enterprise. Enterprise IT admins will be able to manage seats, including buying and allocating the seats, set spending controls and view Claude Code analytics in Claude, including knowing which lines of code were accepted and usage patterns. They can also set tool permissioning, policy settings and MCP configurations. Since the number of seats will be based on the number of premium or standard seats the enterprises need, Anthropic said it will offer flexible pricing. The Compliance API enables companies, particularly those in regulated sectors, to access usage data and customer content on Claude for monitoring and policy enforcement. The API allows organizations to bring Claude data into their compliance and orchestration dashboards.

Anthropic is adding Claude Code to business plans - so now all your workers can enjoy a major AI boost

Admins can select between standard and premium seats for access Anthropic has rolled out changes to help support business users with the expansion of Claude Code to more accounts. The AI tools maker has announced Claude Code will now form part of Claude for Enterprise and Team after previously only being available for individual accounts. With the additional of Claude Code for business customers, admin can now choose to assign workers standard or premium seats - the latter adding support for both Claude and Claude Code. Anthropic noted this was the most requested feature from enterprise customers. "Claude seats include enough usage for a typical workday," the company said, but customers who need access to more intelligence can pay via standard API rates, with admins able to set controls over how much users are allowed to spend. Admins can use the admin panel to purchase new seats, directly manage seat allocation and provision users, with analytics and metrics like lines of code accepted, suggestion accept rate and usage patterns all available to help companies understand the value of Claude Code. Companies can also implement managed policy settings to adhere to internal policies, including tool permissions, file access restrictions and MCP server configurations. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, Anthropic has gone down the more flexible route to allow admins to decide who needs premium seats, which are available for upgrade now. Anthropic recently outlined how the AI company itself uses Claude Code. Use cases include boosting understanding of large codebases, internal documentation ingestion, debugging support and product prototyping. "It's dissolving the boundary between technical and non-technical work, turning anyone who can describe a problem into someone who can build a solution," Anthropic noted.

Developers can research frameworks in Claude, then build production-ready code with Claude Code directly in their terminal. Early adopters report notable productivity gains. Compliance and security firm Behavox said Claude Code has quickly become its "go-to pair programmer," with superior coding assistance compared to other agents.
