Claude, these 5x and 20x routines are too familiar. After upgrading, I still find the quotas insufficient. It’s no wonder there were class-action lawsuits before the IPO.

CryptoWorld reports that Anthropic is facing a class-action lawsuit over its usage commitments for the Claude advanced subscription. Carl Kahn, a resident of Washington, D.C., filed the lawsuit in the Northern District of California, seeking class-action status on behalf of customers who purchased the company’s subscription starting in April 2024. The complaint alleges that the 5x and 20x plans did not deliver the advertised access levels; in practice, the limits are far lower and difficult to predict. Kahn said that after upgrading to the 20x plan, a single five-hour work session consumed about 15% of his weekly quota. The case claims the marketing was misleading, seeks relief for affected users, and comes as the company prepares for an initial public offering.
