Anthropic Renames Claude Max Plans and Begins Lifting Five-Hour Limits for Verified Ultra Accounts
Understand the event
Anthropic has renamed Claude’s Max 5x plan to Max and Max 20x to Ultra, keeping monthly prices at $100 and $200, respectively, and has begun removing the five-hour usage limit for verified Ultra accounts. Anthropic said existing subscribers need to take no action.

Ultra’s weekly allowance remains unchanged at 10 times Pro’s allowance, according to QbitAI. The outlet also reported that Claude subscription product lead Mike Overell apologized for the confusing previous name: Max 20x described a five-hour allowance 20 times Pro’s, even though its weekly allowance was only 10 times Pro’s.
