A class action lawsuit has been filed against Anthropic on behalf of Claude Mass subscribers, alleging deceptive marketing and opaque fine print regarding their subscription plans. The plaintiffs claim that the advertised usage multipliers for higher-tier plans (5X and 20X) are not accurately reflected due to how usage limits are calculated.
“In particular, the lawsuit claims the $100 a month 5X plan and the $200 a month 20X plan don't actually deliver 5 and 20 times the usage of the $20 a month Pro plan.”
“The lawyers running the case themselves noted that what made it compelling to them was how ubiquitous and necessary a top tier AI subscription has become.”
