Anthropic Max 20x

The plan allows 11,000,000 credits per 5 hours and 83,333,300 credits per week.

Anthropic Pro

The honest caveat

A ceiling is what the plan allows, not what you will use. If you write code an hour a day, neither plan's cap is the thing that decides this and the cheaper one wins by default. The multiple matters when you are the kind of user who hits limits.
