Claude Code page still shows it included with Pro/Max. https://claude.com/product/claude-code

Shits confusing... I'm using the Claude code vscode plugin, yet my account page says I'm not using Claude code... so am I, or aren't I?

I don't think I've ever been on such a rollercoaster with a company's reputation in the developer space. I started in January on the $20 plan, essentially my first agentic AI programming. I quickly started hitting limits developing several apps at the same time. I went up to the $200 plan after seeing the value.

After seeing my own issues with 4.6 and the mega-post on Github about declining metrics in a decent dataset of claude chats by Stella Laurenzo at AMD (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/42796), I downgraded to the $100 plan. Hallucinations. Laziness. Lack of thinking. The responses on those mega-threads from Anthropic rubbed me the wrong way in a "you're holding it wrong" kinda way.

In the past week, I downgraded back to the $20 plan because the Codex $20 plan on 5.4 was working so well for me.

Then throw in other oddball events like the source code leak, and the super positive Anthropic events like their interactions with the current administration. It's a wild ride.

I can't understand removing Claude Code from $20. I'm interested to see whether this is confirmed or not.

I'm a career engineer and I went from being one of their most outspoken proponents (at least within my circle) and now.... I'm not.

Makes sense. It is over for the little guy - home enthusiasts and vibe coders. Too many of them saturating resources for Max users. IF you cannot afford few hundred dollars subscription go out and breathe fresh air. But if you can, watch where the ball is rolling - few thousand dollars subscriptions and even less programmers.

Vscode agent mode and github copilot can use Claude models and has feature parity with the .md customization for agents prompts skills etc.

Not too expensive

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Also note that they are letting OpenClaw be used again with `claude -p`, so a partial reversal

And I thought MS was confused one on how to do pricing and business decisions.

Last I saw they have 21 products or services named Copilot. I think they still win the confusion prize.

If it was removed from the pro plan, then the max plan should list claude code as one of its extras, and it doesn't. I would not jump to conclusions yet.

In the “Compare features across plans” section, Claude Code appears to be available only on the Max plan.
