Key terms

Session limit

How much you can use Claude within a five hour window. When it runs out, you wait for it to reset.

Weekly limit

Your ceiling for the whole week, across all models. It resets once a week at a fixed time for your account.

Ultra

The new name for Max 20x since 30 October 2026. Same price, $200 a month, with 10x Pro usage every week and no five hour limit for verified accounts.

Verified account

An Ultra account Anthropic has checked automatically from account and payment history. Until then, a temporary limit applies.

The steps

1. 1

   Step 1

   Open the usage page

   In Claude on the web or desktop, open Settings, then Usage.

   You will see your usage bars: the Current session bar and the weekly bar, plus a separate bar if your plan has a limit for a specific model. Each bar shows when it resets.

   Tip: claude.ai, Claude Code and Claude Desktop all count toward the same limit.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Find the meter that stops you

   For one week, every time Claude stops you, note which bar hit the end.

   If it is always the session bar in the middle of work, your problem is the five hour limit. If the weekly bar runs out before the week ends, your problem is the weekly limit. That difference picks the plan, not the number in the name.

   PromptA simple weekly log (paste it in your notes or in Claude)

   Copy

   Claude usage log for this week:
   Day: [day]
   Stopped by: [session / weekly / nothing]
   What I was doing: [task]
   Model: [Opus / Sonnet / Haiku]
   Rough hours of work: [hours]

3. 3

   Step 3

   Compare the plans with the right numbers

   Pro: the baseline (1x) every five hours and every week, $20 a month or $17 a month billed annually.

   Max (formerly Max 5x): 5x Pro every five hours and every week, $100 a month.

   Ultra (formerly Max 20x): 10x Pro every week and no five hour limit for verified accounts, $200 a month.

   Note: on the old Max 20x, the 20x applied to the session limit only. The weekly limit was 10x and has not changed.

   Tip: These are web subscription prices. Mobile app pricing can differ.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Choose by what stops you

   The session limit stops you mid work and the weekly limit usually lasts: Ultra removes the five hour limit.

   You run out of the weekly limit on Max before the week ends: Ultra gives you twice Max per week.

   You rarely hit any limit: Max or even Pro is enough. Don't pay for a name.

   PromptLet Claude help you decide

   Copy

   Here is my usage log for one week: [paste the log]. My current plan is [Pro / Max / Ultra]. Based on which bar stopped me and how often, which plan fits me? Explain in two sentences and don't assume numbers that are not in the log.

5. 5

   Step 5

   After upgrading to Ultra, check you are verified

   Verification is automatic, based on your account and payment history, and there is nothing to do. Until then a temporary limit applies, and you get an email when it is removed.

   To check, go to Settings, then Usage. If you don't see a Current session bar, your account is verified.

   Tip: Verifying your phone number at checkout is a separate step and doesn't remove this limit.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Use less before you pay more

   Sometimes the fix is not a bigger plan. Start a new chat when a conversation gets long, because long chats use more. Turn off tools and connectors you don't need in that chat. Use a lighter model and a lower effort level for simple tasks.

   If your plan supports usage credits, turn them on so your work continues instead of stopping.
