What
When you reach a usage limit, Claude Code can show a menu of options. The upgrade option in that menu used to read "Upgrade to Max". It now reads "Upgrade to Max or Ultra". The longer prompt about session limits now reads "Upgrade to Max or Ultra for higher session limits every month". A session is one continuous conversation with Claude Code.
This menu appears only in some limit situations, so you may not see it.
Why
The upgrade prompt now mentions an Ultra plan alongside Max, so a reader who hits a limit sees both plans as options.
