Anthropic faces lawsuit over Claude Max limits
Customers have filed an expanded class-action lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging the company did not clearly disclose weekly usage caps on its $200-per-month Claude Max plan despite advertising 20 times more use than the cheaper Pro tier. The suit claims weekly restrictions were added after launch and not made apparent to subscribers. Anthropic argues plan details were available before purchase. The case could set standards for AI subscription disclosures.
