It's a bit disheartening that this is generating so little discussion (this thread seems to be the one with the most comments, currently at 8).

99% of my max plan usage is non-interactive, and this post-June 15 pricing will far, far exceed what I can afford. I assume this applies to a great deal of us.

Out of curiosity, how are you using it and for what?

Title is misleading. (EDIT: Has been updated) https://x.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2054610152817619388 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.

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.

Yeah, it's a pretty wild change.

It's one thing for Anthropic to ban subscription usage of OpenCode etc of their backend.

It's another thing to use their tools and still not get the full usage.

Claude's recent one 9 of uptime [1] might have something to do with it.

It's not bad at all. You get $200 in monthly extra usage credits. Unless you are a deeply unprofitable user this change is no big deal.

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.

You also get $200 in monthly credits so it's not bad.

Before the doomers come in, you get $200 in API credits every month for claude -p usage. Usage counts against those API credits. This is a nothing burger.

This is much of a something burger for users who actively use `claude -p` under their subscription. Users will have to do their own math, but that 200 could come and go quite fast and then you're hitting normal API rates versus what you had previously been hitting.

Sure, but if you spend that many tokens you're probably a pretty big net loss for the company anyways. No company will subsidize that level of compute for you indefinitely.

Yea that's fine and understandable.

But like I said, this is something for those users. I launch many review processes locally with `claude -p`
