Anthropic intensified developer focus on Claude Code throughout May 2026 with doubled five-hour usage limits, removal of peak-hour throttles, and weekly quota increases rolled out on May 6, alongside the Code with Claude conference in San Francisco that highlighted agentic workflows, remote session control, and integrations with GitHub and other platforms. These changes followed model updates like Claude 4.7 and aimed to accelerate real-world coding output, including autonomous agents generating pull requests and commits in projects such as Bun. Competitive pressure from tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot, combined with Anthropic’s own dogfooding and high GitHub star counts for the Claude Code repo, shaped trader views on whether commit volumes would reach elevated thresholds by month-end. The market closed shortly after the London edition of the event, leaving limited time for last-minute adoption spikes to influence final tallies tracked via the dedicated commits dashboard.
