- A class action lawsuit alleges Anthropic misleads subscribers about Claude AI usage limits for its Max 5x and Max 20x paid tiers.
- The Max 20x plan reportedly delivers only 6-8 times Pro usage, not 20 times; Max 5x delivers about 3.5 times, not 5 times.
- Plaintiff Karl Khan filed the suit, claiming discrepancies between advertised and actual rate limits based on his coding experience.
- The lawsuit criticizes Anthropic for lack of transparency on how usage limits are calculated and what constitutes a single session.
- Frustrated customers allege a 'bait and switch,' with premium plan users prompted to buy credits after hitting unclear limits.
- The suit seeks class action status for Max 5x and Max 20x subscribers since April 2025, with damages claimed to exceed $5 million.
