Anthropic shifts automated Claude usage to new credit system

Anthropic is changing its billing structure for certain Claude usage starting June 15th. The update specifically impacts users who run Claude through its Agent SDK or in non-interactive, automated ways, such as scripts or scheduled tasks. Interactive uses like the web chat interface, Claude Code typed directly, and Claude Cowork will remain on existing subscription plans without changes. Users affected by the shift will receive a new monthly credit based on their subscription tier, with additional pay-as-you-go options available. AI

IMPACT Automated Claude workflows will transition to a new credit system, potentially impacting developers and businesses relying on background processing.
