Claude Max 20x is renamed Ultra; five-hour cap removal rolls out in stages for verified accounts

一句重點：Subscribers need not do anything, and monthly prices stay the same. Heavy users should watch for when the five-hour limit is lifted on their account.

發生什麼事

Anthropic's @claudeai announcement renames Max 5x to Max ($100 per month) and Max 20x to Ultra ($200). The weekly allowance is unchanged. The change removes the five-hour cap only for verified Ultra accounts. It takes effect for most existing subscribers on the day of the announcement. Newer accounts keep a temporary restriction until verification is complete; Anthropic says verification helps curb fraud and abuse. Users will receive an email when the restriction is lifted. We have not independently tested it (🗣 self-reported).
