Ultra...plan?

Max20 is now Ultra. Same price, same overall limits, but no 5-hour limit on verified accounts.

Happy building!

> We’re renaming our Max plans: 
> 
> Max 5x → Max
> Max 20x → Ultra
> 
> Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do.
> 
> We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers. Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed.

> Weekly limits remain unchanged. View our plans here:  http://claude.com/pricing
