Anthropic pauses credit change for Claude Code

Maybe I am cynical, but I read this as "We were not able to meet our deadline of making you pay API rates for -p and the Agent SDK, but it's coming. We will let you know"

If I've got it all wrong, please let me know.

It's cynical, but the more likely reason is "we can't sell you Fable, we now have all these spare compute, please don't cancel your subscription until after the IPO"

At least the wording is very clear. claude -p and agent SDK is fair game with subscription, so openclaw like usage is confirmed as ok.

Is it though? “Continues to work as it did before”, referencing a period when we had no freaking clue if our accounts would be banned.

Impressive communication from the 100 billion dollar company. Had to learn from an email they sent a stranger and posted on hn.

> Agent SDK, claude -p, and third-party app usage continues to work with your subscription exactly as it did before today

So it doesn't?

It still seems to. What're you experiencing?

Well that makes zero sense ... probably because it's a random email with *zero* context.
