I opened and funded issue 35 of this account a week ago at 3.35%. Is there a way I can obtain the new rate without breaking the rules of subscribing to multiple isa's?

Log in and open a new ISA account first without paying anything in, then on the main accounts screen select Internal transfer and close from the drop-down menu, choosing your new higher rate ISA. As long as you are transferring it won’t be counted as new money being paid in, and you’ll probably also get a teeny tiny bit of interest to date added too.

Okay thanks. Will I then be able to fund the newly opened Isa with further deposits as I've only used £5500 of my isa allowance for this year?

Yes, you'll be able to add further funds to your cash ISA for 2023-24. 

The ISA allowance is £20,000 per tax year, and as you have only used £5,500, you can pay in up to another £14,500 by the end of the tax year, which is 5th April 2024.

BreakingGlass, our Paragon transfers took about 30 minutes as well.  We did them yesterday.

Keen to see if rates on flexible easy access ISAs go up post the expected BOE 25 bps hike tomorrow. Right now the best buy is Principality at 3.3% but my Skipton tracker ISA (tracks at BOE - 1.25%) too will get bumped to 3.25% if the boe hikes 25bps. Will leave current year subscription in the skipton to ensure I retain access to a proper tracker for next two years (skipton have now pulled their tracker isa product for new customers) but will move older money to the best paying flexible easy access isa if there is a product that pays significantly over 3.25%.

YBS six access ISA @4.25% up to £20,000 is probably the best currently. Although not completely easy access with only six withdrawals plus closure it is flexible.

Up to 20K  4.25% > 4.50%
