Anthropic charges separately for agentic features

·2026.05.15 12:08

Key point

Starting June 15, Anthropic separated Agent SDK and `claude -p` usage into a separate credit pool.

Details

Starting June 15, Anthropic is providing Claude subscribers with separate monthly credits for Agent SDK and claude -p usage.

  • Max 20x: $200 per month
  • Max 5x: $100 per month
  • Pro: $20 per month

Once these credits are used up, programmatic usage stops for accounts that haven't turned on additional usage billing. For accounts that have allowed additional billing, usage can continue at API rates.

On the other hand, interactive use of Claude Code and regular chat continue to use the existing subscription pool and are unaffected.
