According to Dongcha Beating AI Express, the quota issue with Anthropic’s Claude Max has reignited controversy on social media. The $100 Max 5x and $200 Max 20x are easily misinterpreted by their names as meaning the latter offers four times the quota of the former. However, Anthropic’s official documentation specifies that the “5x” and “20x” refer to usage limits per 5-hour windows. All paid plans also include weekly quotas, but Anthropic has not disclosed how these compare to the Pro plan’s weekly limit—a major source of user frustration. A recent reverse calculation by a Reddit user found that during the current temporary bonus period, Max 20x’s total weekly quota is only approximately 2.25 times that of Max 5x. Anthropic has even faced legal action over this. A proposed class-action lawsuit filed in June alleges that Max 20x’s actual total usage is just 6 to 8 times that of the Pro plan, while Max 5x is around 3.5 times. Under this framework, the weekly usage gap between the two tiers is also only about twice. The case remains ongoing, and the court has not yet ruled that Anthropic engaged in false advertising.
