Anthropic $200 Claude Max Plan Offers 1.7x Weekly Usage of $100 Tier Before Data Deletion

Anthropic removed specific weekly usage estimates for its Claude Max tiers from its website after data revealed the $200 monthly plan provides only 1.7 times the capacity of the $100 tier. Disclosed figures from 2025 listed the $100 plan at 140 to 280 hours of Sonnet usage per week and the $200 plan at 240 to 480 hours.

The "20x" multiplier marketed for the $200 plan applies only to five-hour sessions rather than the total weekly cap. A proposed class-action lawsuit alleges the company's usage marketing is misleading, and critics argue that a "Save 50%" label suggests a 4x usage increase that is not reflected in the weekly limits.
