Anthropic boosts context window to 1M across all Claude plans
What happened
Between the Sep 14, 2026 and Sep 21, 2026 captures of Anthropic's pricing page, Pulse recorded 3 changes: Context window in the Individual comparison table jumped from 200k to Up to 1M (varies by model) across Free, Pro, Max 5x, and Max 20x plans; Free plan gained Projects access (Up to 5, was none); Max 5x and Max 20x lost the annual billing option and are now Monthly-only, while Pro keeps Monthly and annual; Claude Cowork dropped as a gated feature: removed from Pro's feature list and comparison t. In detail: Claude Cowork dropped as a gated feature: removed from Pro's feature list and comparison table; Pro now shows 'Hand off and schedule tasks', with a banner noting Cowork is now built into Claude. Pulse files it as a packaging change (packaging change, feature change, limit raised). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 15, 2026) lists Pro at $17, Team (Standard seat) at $20, Enterprise (self-serve) at $20, Max at $100 and Team (Premium seat) at $100.
This weekly roll-up includes the change Pulse first recorded in a shorter period: "Anthropic raises context windows up to 1M, revamps Pro and Max plans" (Day 260, 2026, saved Sep 17, 2026). It is the same change, not a new one. Before that, Anthropic's previous recorded change was "Anthropic: Fable model + context window disclosed in comparison table" (Jul 23, 2026). Anthropic has been tracked since 2024-11-17.
In the same window Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, Scale and X also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
