CLAUDE’S 20X IS FIVE HOURS OF WORK, NOT A WEEK OF IT
Paying $200 a month for Claude gets you, over a week, about twice what $100 gets you, not four times. The five-hour window, the one that resets inside the same day.
On the weekly cap, the one that actually decides how much work you get done, the ratio collapses. The company never published that number. It came out in January from people who sat down and read the credits the system lets slip and wrote that the 20x plan has double the week of the 5x.
That’s it. Now, there is a proposed class action about how those numbers were sold. Nothing is proven in court.
And in California, the question that matters isn’t whether every single sentence was technically true; it’s what impression it left on the person buying. Neither one can be right in a way anybody can check because the counter is in the hands of the seller.
The token is a unit the seller defines: how much it weighs, when it weighs more, what counts as a cached read. Change the definition and your plan gets longer or shorter without a single line of the price moving.
We are buying liters without knowing how big the liter is, averaging the guesses of strangers on the internet. It doesn’t take a courtroom to fix this. It takes a number on the pricing page.
Before we pay, how many tokens per week for each plan? If the limit drops, it says it dropped, and when.
