A popular Reddit post in r\/Anthropic<\/a> titled “More Drama” has drawn significant attention this week, amplifying claims that Anthropic has been misleading customers about how much usage they actually get with its higher-priced Claude subscription plans.<\/p>\n

The post shares a viral X thread<\/a>, which argues that Anthropic advertises its $200-per-month plan as offering “20x” the usage of its base Pro tier, and its $100-per-month plan as offering “5x.” In practice, according to the thread, actual usage only scales up by around 1.7 times \u2014 meaning subscribers pay twice as much for a fraction of the usage boost the marketing implies.<\/p>\n

Anthropic has been misleading people with the Max plans: it has been advertising the $200 plan as 20x and the $100 plan as 5x. You'd expect to get 4 times more usage with those figures, but it turns out it's only 1.7x.<\/p>\n

You pay twice the price, for 1.7x the usage. And yet\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/O4hN2iaESf<\/a><\/p>\n
