Key Info

Anthropic is renaming its Claude Max subscription tiers: Max 5x becomes Max at $100/month, and Max 20x becomes Ultra at $200/month. Starting today, the 5-hour usage limit is being removed for verified Ultra accounts, with weekly limits unchanged.

Highlights

  • Max 5x → Max, still $100/month; Max 20x → Ultra, still $200/month
  • Existing subscribers need to take no action
  • The 5-hour limit is removed for verified Ultra accounts, rolling out first to most existing subscribers
  • Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until verified, to prevent fraud and abuse; users get an email when it is lifted
  • Weekly limits remain unchanged
