| Claude Max | $100/mo | 5x Pro usage per 5-hour session | Rolling 5-hour session + weekly limits |

This week
Reports are down 27%: 8 in the last 7 days vs 11 the 7 days before.
What to do if you keep hitting it
- Know when you reset. Claude Pro: Rolling 5-hour session + weekly limits; shared across chat and Claude Code
- Need more room? Claude Pro is $20/mo: No fixed count; at least 5x the Free usage per 5-hour session
- Make your allowance last. Long chats and big files use more of your limit with every message, so start a fresh chat for a new task. Why tokens matter →
- Compare before you pay more. Another provider's plan may fit your use better: try the plan picker.
