patience_cave · x · 2026-10-31

Anthropic is renaming its Claude Max tiers: Max 5x becomes Max ($100/month), Max 20x becomes Ultra ($200/month); existing subscribers need to do nothing. Verified Ultra accounts also get the 5-hour usage limit removed starting today, while newer accounts keep a temporary limit until verified as an anti-fraud measure. One user asks what "20x" now refers to, since it denoted the 5-hour-limit multiple.
