Does the Max plan have any usage limits?
Yes. The Max plan offers substantially higher usage compared to our Pro plan. The Max plan is available in two tiers, offering flexible usage levels that grow with you:
Expanded Usage: 5x more usage than Pro | Maximum Flexibility: 20x more usage than Pro |
|

The number of messages you can send will vary based on length of message, including the length of files you attach, and length of current conversation. Your message limit will reset every 5 hours. We call these 5-hour segments a “session” and they start with your first message to Claude. If your conversations are relatively short, with the Max plan at 5x more usage, you can expect to send at least 225 messages every 5 hours, and with the Max plan at 20x more usage, at least 900 messages every 5 hours, often more depending on message length, conversation length, and Claude's current capacity. We will provide a warning when you have a limited number of messages remaining.
Please note that if you exceed 50 sessions per month, we may limit your access to Claude. Each session includes any messages sent within 5 hours from the first initiated chat so we expect it to be fairly generous for our users.
