What the source says about limits
Usage limits reset on a rolling five-hour session window; paid plans add weekly limits on top.
Official page · checked · claude.com/pricingWhat it means in practice
There is no fixed message count. A long session can use up the five-hour window, then you wait for it to reset; the weekly limit caps heavy use across the week. Claude Code draws from the same allowance.

Claude Code draws from the same allowance. | The page shows "From $100" for the 5x option and did not show the 20x price in the text we read. Meant for people who run Claude Code for hours a day; a casual user will not notice the difference from Pro. | You can give premium seats only to the people who need heavy usage and keep everyone else on standard seats, which is usually cheaper than putting the whole team on Max. |
