Anthropic renames Claude Max subscription tiers, removes Ultra's 5-hour session limit
2026-10-30
Anthropic renamed its Claude.ai Max subscription tiers: Max 5x is now "Max" ($100/month) and Max 20x is now "Ultra" ($200/month). Verified Ultra subscribers no longer have the 5-hour session limit, though newer accounts keep a temporary limit as an anti-fraud measure; weekly usage limits are unchanged. The change was reported via Anthropic team members' posts relayed in Latent Space's AI News digest published October 31, 2026.
Significance 2: A consumer subscription tier and usage-limit change rather than a model or per-token pricing shift, logged for its effect on heavy Claude.ai users.
