Anthropic kills the 5-hour limit and renames Max 20x to Ultra; users suspect a nerf is coming
doodlestein · x · 2026-10-31
Anthropic renamed Max 20x to Ultra (same price, features, weekly limit) and is removing the 5-hour usage limit in stages for verified accounts, citing Claude's long background workloads. doodlestein suspects this is a prelude: the 20x multiplier was defined against the 5-hour window, and the limit removal may just distract from an eventual cut to 10x.
