Official limits
Max 20x was renamed Ultra in Nov 2026; existing subscribers moved over automatically at the same price. No 5-hour limit for verified accounts (new accounts keep a temporary session limit until Anthropic verifies them automatically). 10x Pro usage every week; Anthropic says the weekly limit itself is unchanged (the old "20x" was per session). Shared across chat and Claude Code. Separate weekly Fable allowance (up to half your weekly limit). Includes $200/month in Claude Platform API credits and priority access at peak times. Billed monthly only. Claude Duet (US research-preview waitlist on Pro and Max) shares these limits, and its background check-ins count toward them.

What builders report
Parallel-agent crowd's favorite. The weekly cap was already the real ceiling with 2–3 concurrent agents; now that verified accounts have no 5-hour limit, it's the only one.
