Well damn, I have claude code drive `claude -p` heavily during development, this makes my $200 a month plan (which I don't tap out of) significantly less attractive.

Yes it is $200 a month in "credits", but their accounting is already dodgy. We know this is going to get ratcheted in some way.

The weasel writing in the post is also not appreciated.

"Claude subscription plans are now eligible to receive a monthly Agent SDK credit."

"Starting June 15, 2026, Claude Agent SDK and claude -p usage no longer counts toward your Claude plan’s usage limits."

Please Anthropic, don't treat your customers like idiots.
