Claude Ultra removes the 5-hour usage limit for verified accounts.
Anthropic renamed its top plans and made a practical change for heavy users. Max 5x is now called Max ($100/month). Max
20x is now called Ultra ($200/month).
Verified Ultra accounts no longer face the 5-hour limit. You can continue long coding sessions, research loops, or multi-step agent workflows without getting cut off mid-task. Weekly limits remain the same. Newer accounts may need to complete verification before receiving this change.
This update improves daily workflows for anyone who relies on Claude for extended work.
