[Claude Quota Criticized for Playing Word Games: $200 '20x' Only Covers 5 Hours, Weekly Quota Just Twice That of $100 Tier] Beating AI Newsflash: The quota issue of Anthropic's Claude Max has sparked controversy again on social media. The $100 Max 5x and $200 Max 20x tiers are easily interpreted as the latter offering four times the quota of the former. However, Anthropic's official documentation clarifies that the 5x and 20x only apply to usage within a 5-hour window. All paid plans also include a weekly quota, but Anthropic has not disclosed how these compare to the Pro tier. This lack of transparency has left users dissatisfied. A recent reverse calculation by a Reddit user suggests that during the current temporary quota increase period, the weekly total quota for Max 20x is approximately only 2.25 times that of Max 5x. Anthropic has even faced legal action over this issue. A proposed class-action lawsuit filed in June claims that the actual total usage for Max 20x is only 6 to 8 times that of Pro, while Max 5x is about 3.5 times. According to this calculation, the weekly usage difference between the two tiers is similarly only about twice. The case is still under review, and the court has yet to determine whether Anthropic engaged in false advertising. [Original Link]
