Anthropic tested removing Claude Code from $20 Pro - reversed within 48h

Anthropic's pricing page showed an X next to Claude Code on the $20 Pro tier (checkmarks only on Max $100/$200) and support docs were rewritten from 'Pro or Max' to 'Max plan' - which made a 2%-of-new-signups A/B test read as a universal, permanent removal.

Anthropic's pricing page showed an X next to Claude Code on the $20 Pro tier (checkmarks only on Max $100/$200) and support docs were rewritten from 'Pro or Max' to 'Max plan' - which made a 2%-of-new-signups A/B test read as a universal, permanent removal. Head of Growth Amol Avasare said it was 'a small test on ~2% of new prosumer signups' and that existing Pro and Max subscribers were not affected, later acknowledging that updating the logged-out landing page and docs site-wide was a mistake. Claude Code was back on the Pro pricing page within roughly a day. We keep this receipt because it signals Anthropic's intent to move Claude Code upmarket - but the change itself was withdrawn, so it is logged as minor, not a live nerf. [Corrected 2026-06-10: the original framed this as a permanent, silent, blanket removal - see /transparency.]
