Down the rabbit-hole it gets worse and worse. Anthropic’s “Save 50%” claim makes even less sense than I thought.

The label suggests that the $200 Max 20x plan gives you four times the usage of the $100 Max 5x plan for only twice the price. We already figurer that out.

But Anthropic’s own website disclosed very different weekly limits in 2025:

Max 5x: 140–280 hours of Sonnet per week Max 20x: 240–480 hours of Sonnet per week That is only around 1.7x more weekly usage, not 4x, despite costing twice as much.

So once you hit the weekly limit, you are not saving 50%. You are effectively paying more per expected hour of usage. Save 50% doesnt make any sense at all.
