Claude subscription changes coverage of `claude -p`

The wording in the press is very confusing. Not sure if deliberate. If you're an active `claude -p` user, it will now cost you API rates vs being able to user your subscription. UPDATE: https://x.com/lydiahallie/status/2054650920768807313?s=20 Still confused.

Where are you seeing that info?? The link you posted says nothing about -p

Title is misleading. (EDIT: Has been updated)

You can claim a monthly credit that covers programmatic (`claude -p`, etc) usage.

So a Claude subscription does cover it, but at a lesser amount.

I mean it does cost you API rates, you just get a certain amount of credit by having a subscription.

I wasn't able to post the official links because it was already posted by simple reposters who didn't understand, and titled their HN posts as "you get credits" basically

this is the original thread https://x.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2054610152817619388?s=20

Happy to change the title if there is explicit clarity on what my `claude -p` usage costs me today & it not differing from what it'll cost me once the change is in effect.
