Anthropic's Claude Code v2.1.316 adds pooled budgets and ultrathink kill switch

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic has released version 2.1.316 of its Claude Code command-line agent, introducing pooled group budgets and a new kill switch for the 'ultrathink' keyword. The pooled budgets allow administrators to set aggregate monthly spending limits for teams, separate from individual member limits. The CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ULTRATHINK environment variable can now be used to disable the 'ultrathink' keyword, which previously increased an agent's reasoning budget and could lead to unexpected compute consumption on shared team setups.

IMPACT Enhances team-level cost management and control for users of Anthropic's Claude Code agent.
