·2026.10.31 12:41

Key point

The rebranded $200/month plan eliminates the 5-hour session cap for verified users while keeping the weekly limit at 10x Pro usage.

Details

  • Claude renamed its top-tier subscription plans on Oct 30, changing Max 20x to Ultra and Max 5x to Max.
  • Verified Ultra accounts no longer face the 5-hour usage limit, allowing for longer continuous sessions, particularly beneficial for Claude Code agent runs.
  • Pricing remains unchanged at $200/month for Ultra and $100/month for Max, with existing Max 20x subscribers migrated automatically.
  • Verification is automatic based on account and payment history, with unverified accounts facing temporary limits until the process completes.
  • The weekly usage cap for Ultra remains at 10x Pro usage, plus a separate weekly limit for Fable.
  • Ultra includes $200/month in API credits, up from $100 on the previous Max tier, and is available only as a monthly web subscription.
