## Summary

Anthropic renames its Max 5x plan to Max and its Max 20x plan to Ultra, with prices unchanged at $100 and $200 per month. The 5-hour limit is being removed for verified Ultra accounts, starting with most existing subscribers, while newer accounts keep a temporary limit until verified. Weekly limits stay unchanged.

## Why it matters

The source names the plan renaming, the price points, and the verified-account condition for removing the 5-hour limit, which matters for subscribers deciding what changes for them.

> 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.
