Anthropic faces lawsuit and trust issues over misleading subscription plans

Anthropic is facing criticism and a proposed class-action lawsuit over its marketing of subscription plans, specifically the "Max 5x" and "Max 20x" tiers. Users allege that the advertised multipliers for usage are misleading, as they apply to short session windows rather than overall weekly limits. Additionally, Anthropic is reducing the Claude Code weekly limits from a 50% increase to a 25% increase, further eroding user trust. These issues, combined with past controversies like the Claude watermark situation, have led to concerns about the company's transparency and business practices. AI
