V2EX user reports upgrading to Claude Max 5x with CN KYC and a U card
A V2EX user named BreakTheBank said they subscribed to Claude Max 5x using a U card (Rongda) with CN KYC completed via a real passport, on an account registered in early 2026. On the 24th, a direct purchase of Max was rejected with the message "This purchase cannot be completed," so the user first signed up for Pro successfully. On the 26th, after the Pro five-hour limit hit 0% with only 8% of the weekly allowance left, the user upgraded to Max 5x successfully and said they would report back if the account was banned.
This is a concrete firsthand availability signal for China-based users who want Claude Max 5x, showing that a failed direct Max purchase followed by a Pro subscription and a later upgrade can succeed with CN KYC and a U card, though it remains a single unverified user account.
