I just cancelled my plan, but still have access to Pro and Code apparently until my cycle would have renewed. Hopefully they get a clear signal from this, especially if more of us cancel with the intention to sign back up should they reverse this decision.

I’d be surprised if they’re running at less than 100% capacity after this. It’s just too useful to too many people for whom an $80/month increase is immaterial (I speculate)

I can't find an announcement yet, however the pricing page now shows it's not included, and various support articles have removed any mention of the the Pro plan including access to claude code. See [1] and [2] for an example of a support article that's had claude code removed as a Pro feature. I guess this is the beginning of the end for subsidised model access, at least from Anthropic.

Claude Code is a freely downloadable CLI Agent. Why would they not let you use that anymore?

Why is management at Anthropic trying so hard to ruin their reputation with developers? I missed the OpenClaw hype but it was something that kept me excited about my yearly subscription. It makes no sense to do one of the higher tier plans unless they are directly generating you money.

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.

they don't care about their reputation with devs, they care about their reputation with people that can write them big fat checks

This makes sense given Anthropic’s recent downtime and resource constraints. Opus 4.7 consumes tokens at a faster rate and folks were complaining that the Pro plan included too few credits for real work. And Anthropic now allows `claude -p` (which invokes Claude code) for 3rd party agents like OpenClaw, which consume far more tokens by running autonomously, 24/7.

only if it actually improves the downtime, people were expecting the same when they revoked openclaw access but that didn't change anything

I’ve got nearly 10 months left on my yearly subscription, I wonder what that means for my access.

Same. I hope we're grandfathered in. Otherwise current pro subscribers who signed up with the understanding that they could use it in Claude Code are going to be extremely pissed and go off and sign up for alternatives (or start running local models instead). I mean, I guess they could say too bad, they got your money, but this would destroy their brand among people who are currently their most loyal users.
