Billing information

How can I get a free or discounted Max plan?

We do not offer standard discounted pricing any of our paid plans, including Max 5x and 20x plans. With that said, anyone in a supported location can access the free version of Claude by navigating to claude.ai and signing up using an email address.

We occasionally run limited-time promotions, but we don't have any standing discounts available upon request. These promotional offers are typically announced through our official channels when available. If you're interested in potential future promotions, we recommend following our official social media accounts or signing up for our newsletter to be notified of any special offers. Our Support team cannot issue one-off discounts or coupons.

Does the Max plan have any usage limits?

Yes. The Max plan offers substantially higher usage compared to our Pro plan and is available in two tiers:

Max 5x provides 5 times more usage per session than the Pro plan. This tier is ideal for frequent users who work with Claude on a variety of tasks.

Max 20x provides 20 times more usage per session than the Pro plan. This tier is ideal for daily users who collaborate often with Claude for most tasks.

Max plans also have two weekly usage limits: one that applies across all models and another for Sonnet models only. Weekly limits reset at a fixed time each week that is assigned to your account. Your reset day and time stay the same regardless of when you start using Claude or when your subscription begins, and you receive your full weekly allowance each cycle. You can see your next reset time in Settings > Usage.

In addition, to manage capacity and ensure fair access to all users, we may limit your usage in other ways, such as weekly and monthly caps or model and feature usage, at our discretion.
