Anthropic renames Max plans to Max and Ultra, removes Ultra's 5-hour limit for verified accounts
Overview
Anthropic is renaming its Max 5x plan to Max and its Max 20x plan to Ultra, with prices unchanged at $100 and $200 per month, according to the Claude account on X. Boris Cherny says the 5-hour usage limit is being removed for verified Ultra accounts, starting with most existing subscribers.
Newer accounts keep a temporary 5-hour limit until verified, which Cherny says helps prevent fraud and abuse. Weekly limits are unchanged, and subscribers need not take any action.
A post quoted by Alex Albert from Anthropic's Claude subscriptions product lead says the rollout is staged and that the Ultra plan keeps its 10x Pro weekly limit.
