Anthropic hit with a class-action suit claiming its $100 and $200 Claude Max plans deliver far less usage than advertised

He says the company advertised usage limits it never delivered. Anthropic sells Max 5x at $100 a month, marketed as five times the Pro plan's per-session usage, and Max 20x at $200 a month, marketed as twenty times. The complaint says real usage runs far below those figures, and that Anthropic cut the limits without telling subscribers. Kahn moved to the $200 tier in April for coding work. He claims one five-hour session ate 15% of his weekly allotment, nowhere close to what the "20x" label promised. The Wall Street Journal first reported the filing. AI providers are wrestling with flat monthly pricing against the real per-prompt cost of heavy users, and this case puts that tension in front of a judge. Kahn is seeking class status for other Max subscribers.
