Starting June 15, paid Claude plans can claim a dedicated monthly credit for programmatic usage. The credit covers usage of: Claude Agent SDK claude -p Claude Code GitHub Actions Third-party apps built on the Agent SDK We’ve heard your questions about SDK and claude -p usage sharing your subscription rate limits with Claude Code and chat. Starting June 15, programmatic usage gets its own dedicated budget instead. Your subscription limits don’t change, they’re now reserved for interactive use. How it works: Claim the monthly credit once, and programmatic usage will draw from it automatically. When it runs out, you can keep going with usage credits (billed at API rates you turn on/off). If usage credits are turned off, usage pauses until the credit resets. Monthly credit amounts vary by plan: Pro: $20 Max 5x: $100 Max 20x: $200 Team Standard: $20/seat Team Premium: $100/seat Enterprise: Varies by seat type After you claim the credit, it resets with each billing cycle. Credits do not rollover. This means that third-party tools built on the Agent SDK like Conductor and OpenClaw work with your Claude plan, but will draw from your credit the same way your own scripts do. There’s nothing you need to do today. Users will get an email on June 8 to claim their credits, and this change goes into effect on June 15.
