Anthropic shifts Claude Code headless calls to per-call billing

Anthropic is changing its billing for Claude Code, moving headless invocations to the Agent SDK credit system starting June 15th. This means automated workflows, such as nightly summaries or CI checks that use `claude -p` or `claude --print`, will incur per-call charges instead of being covered by Pro or Max subscriptions. Enterprise teams are advised to audit their current headless usage to estimate potential new costs and consider migration strategies to manage expenses. AI

IMPACT Enterprise teams using automated Claude Code workflows must audit and potentially adjust their billing strategies to avoid unexpected costs.
