Claude Max subscribers file a class action against Anthropic

A group of Claude subscribers has filed an expanded class action alleging that Anthropic advertised the usage limits of its Max plan in a misleading way. The case is being brought by Monica Vaca and Kati Daffan, attorneys who spent 38 years between them at the Federal Trade Commission.

Max sits above the $20 Pro plan and comes in two tiers: $100 a month for five times Pro's usage, $200 for twenty times. The complaint says those multiples apply only to five-hour sessions and are subject to a weekly cap, so the real increase in capacity is far smaller. Understanding the terms requires following several hyperlinks. In a motion to dismiss the earlier case, Anthropic argued the information was available during the purchase process. The complaint was first filed in July, then withdrawn and refiled.
