Max and Ultra plans

Anthropic renamed its Max 5x plan to Max and its Max 20x plan to Ultra, keeping prices at $100 and $200 a month, and removed the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts.

Max 5x is now called Max and Max 20x is now called Ultra. Prices stay the same and subscribers need to do nothing. The 5-hour limit is removed for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers, and newer accounts keep it for now per the truncated post.
