We saw this coming for months.. I thought something felt off the last couple of days... Anthropic has officially renamed its $200/month Claude Max 20x plan to Claude Ultra. When Anthropic launched Max in April 2025, it advertised the $200 tier as offering up to 20x more usage than Pro. The new Ultra plan is now officially listed as providing 10x Pro’s weekly usage. Anthropic’s email says your “weekly usage limit stays the same.” That may mean the reduction had already been rolling out—or that the practical weekly cap was changed before the new name became official. Either way, the customer-facing offer has moved from **20x to 10x**. And we’ve had signs this was coming: - Anthropic introduced weekly limits in August 2025 - Users have increasingly reported hitting the Max 20x weekly cap much sooner than expected - Recent independent testing indicated Anthropic was A/B testing different Max 20x limits across accounts - Some users reported their weekly capacity already felt much closer to 10x than 20x Now the new plan documentation makes it explicit. What changed - Max 20x is now called Ultra - The price remains $200 per month - Ultra officially includes 10x Pro’s weekly usage - The rolling 5-hour limit is being removed for verified accounts - Usage can be spread across the week instead of being constrained by 5-hour windows - Max 5x is now simply called **Max** and remains $100 per month Removing the 5-hour limit is genuinely useful. Long Claude Code, Cowork, and background tasks should be less likely to stop halfway through a session. But we shouldn’t confuse greater flexibility with greater capacity. Anthropic is removing one restriction while formalizing a substantially lower usage multiplier than the one attached to the original $200 plan. The company can call it Ultra, but the underlying offer is now 10x usage for the same price previously associated with 20x. My read: the name change lets Anthropic retire the “20x” promise while presenting the transition primarily as an upgrade and silently lowering usage limits.

Hi all 👋 This is my first post and video. I have been a VIP member since March. I continue to learn and get value from all aspects of this community on a regular basis. I also joined the Lyceum recently to better understand how to translate everything that I have been learning and processing for the last ~6 months into a tangible skill, product, business and more. The progress that I have made so far has been well worth it. Given that its structured like a class, there are assignments, deadlines, group work, etc. That means more opportunity to procrastinate! In my most recent bender of procrastinating, I decided to be productive and try new things. I made a video in attempt to summarize many recent updates to how I work with Claude on a day to day basis. So here's my version... and it was supposed to be 30 seconds. It's version five and a bit over five minutes. I got way off track, lost the plot and burned way too many tokens - but I learned a lot and fun along the way! Hope there is something in there for at least 1 person 🙌 My Human Harness - First video I've ever made - Posting my imperfections

📦 EVERY ENTRANT GETS A FEEDBACK FILE 📦 📄 Your file is here: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/classroom/7634b927?md=2b3ccc0b73c243b7b6137993f6b60da3 🔍 HOW WE READ THESE We cloned every repo and pinned it to its last commit before the deadline. Nobody committed after the clock. Seven of seven. First time. Then we did what the rubric asked, in order, for every entry. We checked original/ against the judged commit, byte for byte. We read your feedback file first and wrote your three lines down before we opened anything else. We diffed that file against the one we sent you. We ran git log on original/ and on questions.md against rebuild/. We mapped every question to a line. Then we ran both arms ourselves, old and new, on your own harness where it would run on our machine and on ours where it would not. Then we wrote one question you had never seen, aimed at one of your three lines, with the expected answer written down before we ran it, and ran it on both arms. We read results.md last. That question is in your file, with what each arm did. 📚 WHAT THE FIELD TAUGHT ✅ Every entry closed at least two of its three lines. Four closed the tier line outright. The feedback files were specific enough to act on, and this is the first round where we can say that with evidence behind it: on our machine, on a question the author never saw, the rebuild beat the original on the line it was aimed at. ✅ The order held in git and slipped in the work. Six of seven committed questions.md before rebuild/. Three of those say in their own results.md that the rebuild was finished, or the questions shaped on a prototype of it, before the questions were written. Every one of them said so plainly. The step the brief asked for is about when the questions were written, and git can only show when they were committed. The one question nobody could tune to was ours. ✅ The harness is part of the entry. One rebuild lost on paper and won on our machine, because its system prompt was cut at the first quoted string before it reached the model. Another prints the right stop shape every time and fails its own checker on the prose the session writes around it. A third's validator needs a version of Python the original never did. What you measured is what you shipped.
