Anthropic has renamed Max 20x to Ultra. Existing subscribers move over automatically at the same price. As of November 6, 2026, the web plan costs $200 per month. On verified Ultra accounts, the five-hour session limit no longer applies.

How to check whether your account is verified

Anthropic verifies accounts automatically using factors such as account and payment history. A temporary limit applies while verification is pending. On Ultra, the absence of a Current session bar under Settings → Usage indicates that the account is verified.

Weekly limits still apply

Ultra retains a weekly allowance across models and a separate weekly limit for Fable. The Max plan still has its five-hour session limit. The usage screen shows which limits apply before you start a long session.
