Anthropic faces a federal class-action lawsuit alleging it misled customers about the usage limits of its Claude Max subscription plans. The lawsuit, filed by Washington, D.C. user Karl Kahn, claims that the $100/month Max 5x and $200/month Max 20x plans deliver far less usage than advertised, and that customers cannot accurately measure the actual usage they receive.
