Class action: Anthropic Max 5×/20× limits allegedly misled power users

· opgehaald 21:15

Ex-FTC lawyers Monica Vaca and Kati Daffan refiled an expanded class action claiming Anthropic’s Max plan ($100/$200) marketed 5×/20× Pro usage while burying 5-hour session + weekly caps that shrink effective capacity.

On 8 Sep 2026 The Verge reported an expanded class action against Anthropic over Max-tier marketing: plaintiffs say “5×” ($100) and “20×” ($200) vs Pro are advertised prominently while the controlling 5-hour rolling session and weekly limits sit behind multiple links, so upgrades mid-project often yield less usage than expected. Anthropic previously argued clarifying info was a click away (“digital equivalent of flipping a product over”). The firm did not comment to The Verge.
