Anthropic Faces Lawsuit Over Claude Max Usage Claims
Karl Kahn says the Max 5x and Max 20x plans delivered far less usage than promised, and seeks refunds for subscribers since April 2024.
- On Monday, a lawsuit filed in the Northern District of California alleged that Anthropic misled consumers about usage limits of its "Max 5x" and "Max 20x" subscription plans.
- Plaintiff Karl Kahn, a Washington, D.C. customer, claims the $100 and $200 monthly plans promised five and 20 times the computing access of the $17 to $20 Claude Pro subscription but delivered far less.
- A single five-hour work session consumed about 15% of Kahn's weekly allotment, according to the complaint, forcing users to ration prompts or pay for additional access.
- Competitors like Microsoft and OpenAI are leveraging affordability to attract users priced out of Anthropic's premium models amid rising complaints regarding AI costs.
- As Anthropic prepares for an initial public offering later this year, federal restrictions on its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models add regulatory pressure to the company.
