However, some customers allege that they were misled regarding the benefits of the top-tier pricing subscription.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">A class action lawsuit was filed today by a group of Claude subscribers, claiming that Anthropic falsely advertised the limitations of its Max subscription tier. The lawsuit was initiated by attorneys Monica Vaca and Kati Daffan, both of whom previously worked at the Federal Trade Commission under Lina Khan.
