Claude Pro and Max Subscription Guide for Users in China

This is ChongGrok’s independent knowledge base for Claude Pro, Max 5x and Max 20x subscriptions. It explains plan selection, assisted official payment, Claude User ID safety, card declines, renewal failures, paid-but-Free account checks and Claude Code membership access.

ChongGrok is an independent third-party subscription assistance service. It is not affiliated with, authorized by or officially partnered with Anthropic. Plan availability, pricing, usage limits and regional access are determined by Anthropic.

Start with the symptom you see

Current situation	First check	Stop condition
You have not subscribed and do not know which plan to choose	Record where Free or Pro actually blocks your work before comparing plans	Do not upgrade if the current plan completes your regular tasks
A card payment failed	Save the exact error, time and billing channel before troubleshooting	Do not retry if a charge, pending transaction or receipt exists
You paid but Claude still shows Free	Match the receipt email, current login and `Settings > Billing`	Do not create a second subscription while the first order is unresolved
Claude Code does not use the membership	Confirm the web plan is active, then check the account used by the terminal	Stop if Claude Code is using API-key billing instead of the subscription

Current individual plan boundaries

Plan	Published US monthly price	Suggested use
Claude Pro	USD 20 monthly on the web; annual price shown at checkout	Daily writing, document analysis and light Claude Code work
Claude Max 5x	USD 100	Higher-frequency workflows when Pro is consistently limiting
Claude Max 20x	USD 200	Sustained, heavy knowledge and coding workflows

Taxes and regional prices may differ. Max 5x and Max 20x require confirmation through the Claude service page; ChongGrok does not publish a fixed CNY price for Max in this guide.

Assisted subscription flow

Sign in to the Claude account that should receive the subscription.
Check Settings > Billing for an active or pending subscription.
Visit chonggrok.com/claude and confirm Pro, Max 5x or Max 20x with support.
Pay through the confirmed order path and provide only the required Claude User ID.
Support assists with the official subscription payment using an overseas card.
Verify the plan, payment status and invoice in Claude Settings > Billing.

No Claude password, email password, verification code or recovery code is requested. A Claude User ID is not a password, but it remains account-related information and should only be submitted through the confirmed order workflow.

The process is complete only when the target account shows the expected plan in Settings > Billing, the login email matches the intended account and Claude Code uses the same subscription identity. A payment message or support chat alone does not prove that the paid plan is active on that account.
