On Wednesday, Anthropic rolled out a new subscription tier priced between $100 and $200 per month, known as Claude Max. This plan offers enhanced usage limits for the Claude AI assistant. The introduction of Claude Max comes in response to a wave of complaints from current subscribers who have frequently encountered rate limitations.
“The primary request from our most engaged users has been for increased access to Claude,” Anthropic stated in a press release. A quick browse through user discussions on Reddit supports this, with many users expressing dissatisfaction with the current usage limits over the past year, even those subscribed to the Claude Pro plan at $20 per month.
A notable downside of Claude’s relatively large context window is that lengthy interactions or the inclusion of numerous reference documents (such as code files) can quickly exhaust usage limits. This happens because each user input, along with the entire conversation history and attached documents, is reprocessed by the AI model. However, the advantage of a large context window is that it enables Claude to handle more complex tasks within each session.
