Anthropic is changing how its Claude Pro and Max plans handle agent usage starting June 15, 2026. Previously subsidized, programmatic use of the Claude Agent SDK and `claude -p` will now draw from a separate metered wallet billed at API list prices. This shift means that heavy automation tasks, such as those in CI/CD pipelines or on busy code repositories, could quickly exhaust the new usage limits, potentially stopping operations unless users opt into overflow billing.
