Anthropic renames Claude top tier to Ultra, scraps 5-hour usage cap for verified accounts
Anthropic has renamed the highest-priced personal plan for its AI assistant Claude to Ultra and removed the five-hour usage cap for verified accounts. The $200-a-month Max 20x becomes Ultra and the $100-a-month Max 5x becomes Max, with prices unchanged and existing users moved automatically. Weekly limits remain. The new usage multipliers are based on different time periods, making direct comparison difficult.

Battery companies are expanding into services that support ongoing management after sales as AI-enabled remote diagnostics move toward commercialisation. The role of battery management systems is shifting from showing remaining charge to predicting failures and enabling remote management, with cloud analysis spreading. Firms are bundling data into post-sale services and battery subscriptions, including taxi trials. Wider adoption requires clearer standards for residual value and insurance rules to determine liability for damage.
