Claude Ultra is the new name for Anthropic's Max 20x plan, at $200 per month. Weekly usage limits are unchanged. The old Max 5x plan is now simply called Max, at $100 per month.
What actually changes
Verified Ultra accounts no longer have the rolling 5-hour session limit. Weekly limits still apply. New or unverified accounts keep a temporary session cap until verification.
How to check your account
Open Settings > Usage. If there is no "Current session" bar, your Ultra account is verified and the 5-hour limit is gone.
Is no 5-hour cap worth $200 to you?
