Key points
- Anthropic's help article says the Max 20x plan is now called the Ultra plan, and existing subscribers move over automatically with no price change.
- The article says an account not yet verified gets a temporary limit, which Anthropic removes automatically once it verifies the account using factors such as account and payment history.

What happened
Verified accounts on Claude's Ultra plan have no five-hour usage limit, while accounts not yet verified get a temporary one, according to Anthropic's help article on the plan. Anthropic says it verifies Ultra accounts automatically, using factors such as account and payment history, so there is nothing to apply for.
Verifying a phone number at checkout does not lift the limit. A user can check in Settings under Usage: if no Current session bar shows, the account is verified. Ultra costs $200 a month on the web and gives 10 times the Pro plan's usage every week.

What it means for you
Our viewFor a team on Max 20x, the article describes a rename and an automatic move, so nothing needs to be done to switch. The open point is the limit on unverified accounts: the page gives no date for the change and no size for the temporary limit, so it does not show how far the limit would restrict heavy use.
Anthropic decides verification on its own factors, and the article says there is nothing the user needs to do. Ultra costs $200 a month on the web, for web subscriptions only, and gives 10 times the Pro plan's usage every week.
Open Settings, then Usage, and check whether the Current session bar shows before you plan work around the plan.
