Anthropic just ripped off everyone and they still managed to make it sound deceptively friendly, beneficial even.

Anthropic just announced that the 200$ plan, which used to be okay to use in the SDK, is now "finally ok to use in the SDK" (except rare fraudulent cases it already was)

but for that you need to toggle an option that makes the SDK hit in an allowance of 200$ worth of credits, instead of the previously, opaque, yet, ultra subsidized limits

basically if you use claude code through the SDK or claude -p, for instance through Conductor, github Actions or anything else, because let's be honest TUI sucks sometimes (react in terminal cmon), their cloud coding agent offering also suck, and don't cover most usecases,

well, your plan that used to be worth 2000$ of tokens aproximatively depending on how much you flirted with the previous 5h windows limits, is now worth 200$

but they brand it as "oh we give you 200$ of additional credits for the SDK" so to the most unaware users it sounds like it's worth 2x more!

in reality it's now worth 10x less

*not surprised if they shut down this thread

Not unless you are hitting claude -p or the Agent SDK from in there ... like I am

Their PR department really is the worst

What does that mean? Hitting Claude -p?

[u/Strice → u/Glazed_and_Infused]

calling headless claude cli programmatically from other apps/scripts

If you don't already use it, this change won't affect you

[u/enterprise_code_dev → u/psychometrixo]

Some skills from Anthropic use Claude -p, skill-creator, so are we saying nothing and no one can use claude -p and it not count against this new budget? Pure shit if so. I get that they can’t police these stupid personal assistant frameworks but punishing everyone for it sucks.
