Class action lawsuit accuses Anthropic of overselling Claude subscriptions with deceptive usage multipliers

AnnouncementPolicySep 11, 2026

A class action lawsuit reported by The Verge and covered by THE DECODER accuses Anthropic of misrepresenting Claude subscription usage limits. The Max plan charges $100 monthly for five times the Pro plan's usage, or $200 for twenty times, but plaintiffs say multipliers only apply within five-hour windows and are capped by weekly limits. Anthropic, which confirms the structure on its help page, moved to dismiss, arguing purchase details were available via hyperlinks; plaintiffs counter consumers cannot verify delivery.
