Claude’s market share more than doubled in March — here’s why users actually left ChatGPT

Published by skeptic

Summary Claude’s US market share more than doubled in March and has tripled since January. ChatGPT still dominates (~68% US share, according to Statcounter) but lost about 7% in March as rivals gained ground. Many users switched to Claude after controversy around OpenAI’s government deal. Early in March 2026, we saw something remarkable happen in the AI landscape. Following the announcement of OpenAI’s deal with the US government, Anthropic’s Claude chatbot saw a huge surge in both press and app downloads. Users called for abandoning ChatGPT in favor of Claude. Now, with March market share numbers available (via Statcounter), it’s become clear that this was more than just talk.

Anthropic Suddenly Cares Intensely About Intellectual Property After Realizing With Horror That It Accidentally Leaked Claude’s Source Code

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The AI industry largely acts as if it’s above lowly copyright laws — unless, of course, those laws happen to be protecting its own interests. As the Wall Street Journal reports, Anthropic is scrambling to contain a leak of its Claude Code AI model’s source code by issuing a copyright takedown request for more than 8,000 copies of it — a gallingly ironic stance for the company to be taking, considering how it trained its models in the first place. The leak isn’t considered to be an outright disaster; no customer data was exposed, Anthropic says, nor were the internal mathematical “weights” that determine how the AI “learns” and which distinguish it from other models. But it did expose the techniques its engineers used to get its AI model to act as an autonomous agent, a form of digital infrastructure coders call a harness, and other tricks for making the AI operate as seamlessly as it does.

While the weekly caps remain unchanged, this modification has led to faster depletion of session allowances, creating challenges for users who rely on consistent access during critical hours. According to AI Godfather, this change has disrupted workflows for professionals and organizations, raising concerns about the company’s communication practices and its impact on user trust. Changes to Claude Peak-Hour Session Limits “To manage growing demand for Claude, we’re adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/pro/max subscriptions during on-peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During peak hours (weekdays, 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT), you’ll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before. Overall weekly limits stay the same, just how they’re distributed across the week is changing. We’ve landed a lot of efficiency wins to offset this, but ~7% of users will hit session limits they wouldn’t have before, particularly in pro tiers. If you run token-intensive background jobs, shifting …
