Anthropic usage tiers offer only 3.5x-6x limits, far below advertised

User testing reveals Anthropic's new $100 and $200 subscription plans provide significantly lower weekly usage increases than advertised. The $100 tier offers only 3.5x the usage of the $20 plan, and the $200 tier offers 6x, with multipliers applying only within a 5-hour rolling window (a mechanism OpenAI has removed). This contradicts the stated 5x and 20x boosts. In contrast, ChatGPT's tiers respect the advertised x10 and x20 multipliers without time window restrictions.
