The order says Anthropic responded that it discloses on claude.com that Max plans have weekly and per-session limits, and that reasonable consumers should understand the representation to mean 5x or 20x more usage per session, not per month.

The exact words it rests on

Anthropic responds that consumer confusion isn't likely widespread or reasonable. This is because Anthropic does disclose on claude.com that Max plans have weekly and per-session limits. ... Anthropic maintains that reasonable consumers should understand that, when Anthropic represents that Max subscribers will have "5x or 20x more usage than Pro," Anthropic means that Max subscribers will have 5x or 20x more usage per session, not per month.
