Anthropic Accused In Lawsuit Of Lying About $200 Per Month '20x' Plan

A federal class-action lawsuit filed Monday accuses Anthropic of misleading customers about the real usage limits on its high-end Claude AI subscriptions. The suit, brought on behalf of Washington D.C. subscriber Karl Kahn and others who bought the Max 5x and Max 20x plans since April 2025, claims the company oversold how much computing power buyers would actually receive.

The lawsuit - filed Monday in the Northern District of California on behalf of Washington DC resident Karl Kahn and others who subscribed to the plans since April 2025 - targets Anthropic's Max 5x and Max 20x tiers priced at $100 and $200 per month respectively. It accuses the company of misleading customers by advertising these plans as providing five and twenty times the usage capacity of the standard Pro subscription, when in reality the actual limits fall well short of those claims. The allegations draw heavily from emails Anthropic sent to subscribers in July 2025 that outlined the expected weekly usage allowances for each tier at the time.

According to the complaint, Kahn upgraded to the Max 20x plan in April of this year after increasing his reliance on Claude for coding work. He soon discovered he was exhausting his weekly limits rapidly, including burning through 15 percent of his allowance during a single five-hour session. The suit seeks refunds for affected customers and a judicial finding that Anthropic's marketing of the high-tier plans was fraudulent.

Allegations

Kahn initially used Claude for personal tasks but later relied on it heavily for coding. After upgrading, he repeatedly hit usage walls and had to stop work, ration prompts, or buy extra credits to finish projects, according to the complaint. The lawsuit says the actual limits are difficult to predict and consistently lower than what was promised when the plans were marketed as giving five or twenty times the capacity of the standard Pro subscription.

"The actual usage provided by the Max 5x and Max 20x plans is far below the advertised amount of usage," reads the lawsuit, that claims Kahn "found himself needing either to halt his work, ration his usage, or purchase additional usage to ensure that he could complete his work." 

Anthropic has not commented on the suit, according to the Wall Street Journal. The company offers free access plus paid tiers, with the Pro plan running $17 to $20 a month. The higher Max plans were positioned for power users needing substantially more compute.

This lawsuit arrives amid mounting frustration with AI subscriptions and tokenomics. Power users and even large enterprises have complained for months about unpredictable rate limits, especially on coding workflows - with several documented cases of extreme overspending, including one unnamed Anthropic client (Amazon?) that racked up roughly $500 million in Claude charges in a single month after failing to cap employee usage.

Compute scarcity remains a core issue across the sector. A surge in demand earlier this year strained systems at Anthropic and rivals, producing outages and tighter limits even for paying customers. At the same time, companies are racing to launch new models ahead of expected IPOs while navigating new government restrictions. Days before this suit, the Trump administration banned foreign governments, companies, and individuals from accessing Anthropic's most powerful models after Amazon discovered a way to jailbreak the company's Fable AI into its unrestricted form - Mythos, forcing the company to shut off certain access to comply.

On Sunday, Anthropic execs scrambled to DC to triage the situation. 

Fable 5 launched on June 9 as the first broadly available "Mythos-class" model, the public-facing version of a system Anthropic had previously kept behind a vetted-access wall because of its cyber and biological capabilities. Mythos 5, the same underlying model with some safeguards removed, stayed reserved for cleared cybersecurity partners. Fable 5 was the middle path: Mythos-grade capability, Anthropic said, with guardrails strong enough for general release. The company put it on the API, made it generally available on Amazon Bedrock and GitHub Copilot, and folded it into Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans at no extra charge through June 22.

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:

— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.…

RFK Jr. Warns Vaccine Committee Not 'Functioning', Asks Court To Accelerate Decision

Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times,

The committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccines has been paralyzed by a March ruling by a federal judge, leaving it unable to carry out work ahead of the upcoming respiratory virus season, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has warned.

"The court's order has left ACIP unable to carry out its core responsibilities," Kennedy said in a June 12 post on X, referring to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). "As a result, the committee cannot issue new recommendations, review newly approved vaccines, or complete important work ahead of the fall flu season."

Influenza and other viruses typically circulate each year in the fall and winter.

The ruling in question was released on March 16 by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, who concluded that Kennedy and other officials did not take necessary steps when making changes to federal vaccine guidance and the composition of ACIP.

Murphy stayed the changes the CDC issued in January, the appointments of new ACIP members by Kennedy, and the votes that were taken by those members.

The Trump administration appealed the ruling on April 29.

Government lawyers asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on June 12 to speed up its consideration of the matter.

"A single district judge has frozen the architecture of the national immunization system," they said, adding that Murphy's order means "the committee cannot supply, change, or withdraw a vaccine recommendation - for any vaccine or population - until the stay is lifted."

A similar panel that advises the Food and Drug Administration is slated to meet on June 18 to consider clearing a new influenza vaccine, and if officials end up clearing it, then ACIP would need to issue a recommendation on which populations should receive it, the motion to expedite noted. ACIP also usually provides recommendations on seasonal influenza vaccination before the fall.

The CDC typically accepts ACIP's advice.

The administration also pointed to Trump's June 3 executive order, which directs the CDC and ACIP to update the childhood vaccination schedule. Currently, the committee cannot carry out the order, lawyers said.

Under the proposed briefing schedule, briefs would be filed in June and July, the appeals court would hear oral argument in August, and the court would issue a decision "as soon as practicable" after that.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and other groups that sued over the vaccine guidance changes oppose speeding up the appeal, according to the motion. They have said the judge ruled correctly in deciding that Kennedy's remade ACIP was unbalanced and that the January changes should not have been made absent advice from ACIP.

"A functioning ACIP is essential to ensuring that vaccine recommendations remain grounded in evidence and available to the families and providers who rely on them," Kennedy added in the post on X.

B-52 Bomber Crashes After Take-Off From Edwards Air Force Base In California

A U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from Edwards Air Force Base in California, the base said in a statement Monday.

“A United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress crashed shortly after takeoff on the Edwards airfield at 11:20 a.m.,” the base said in a post on Facebook.

“Emergency crews immediately responded to the scene and the situation is ongoing.”

It’s unclear if there were any injuries or what caused the crash.

The base did not provide any further details in its statement, adding that more information will be provided when it becomes available.

“Please join me in praying for the B-52 crew at Edwards Air Force Base and the entire Edwards community,” said Rep. Vince Fong (R-Calif.) in a post on X.

Video footage of the incident showed the smoldering wreckage of the plane at the base, which is located in both Kern and San Bernardino counties.

As Jack Phillips reports for The Epoch Times, the B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range bomber that was introduced in the 1950s as a central part of U.S. air power.

The planes are capable of carrying conventional and nuclear weapons, and they have been used in a range of U.S. military confrontations, most recently in the war with Iran.

The bomber usually has a crew of five, including a commander, pilot, radar navigator, navigator, and electronic warfare officer. It also can carry a payload of up to 70,000 pounds and has a range of 8,800 miles, the Air Force says.

The Air Force says it is expecting to operate B-52s until the year 2050.

Both the Air Force and NASA carry out test flights of new and experimental aircraft at the air base, which is located in the Mojave Desert, according to its website.

Earlier this month, NASA’s X-59 experimental aircraft flew faster than the speed of sound in a milestone event at Edwards Air Force Base, the space agency said.

The crash is one of several involving the U.S. military that have occurred in the past few weeks. 

On May 17, two Navy EA-18G Growlers collided with one another in midair in an air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, the military said. 

Over the past weekend, a military plane crashed near Mount Rainier in Washington state during a training flight, local officials said.

Before the crash on Monday, the most recent fatal incident involving a B-52 occurred in 2008, when six Air Force members died when a bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean after taking off from a base in Guam. The plane was due to take part in a parade flyover.
