Claude Max upgrade questioned over unscaled weekly limits

A user on Reddit is questioning the value proposition of upgrading to Claude Max, citing concerns that the weekly usage limits do not scale proportionally with the increased 5-hour limits. The user notes that while Max offers higher burst capacity, it may lead to faster depletion of the weekly allowance, potentially resulting in higher costs than anticipated. This user feels the marketing around the upgrade is misleading by not clearly stating the weekly usage constraints. AI

IMPACT Users may reconsider upgrades to premium AI tiers if perceived value does not align with cost and usage limitations.
