   Anthropic moves Claude Agent SDK / programmatic usage off subscription pools to a separately-metered API-rate credit (June 15)

   Per Anthropic's own help center, starting June 15, 2026 programmatic Claude usage - the Agent SDK and `claude -p` headless mode - stops drawing from Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise subscription limits and instead draws from a separate monthly Agent SDK credit billed at standard API rates. Interactive Claude Code in the terminal is unaffected. For anyone running agents or automations on a Claude subscription, the prior 'programmatic loops at subscription pricing' arrangement ends - that usage is now metered at full API rates.
