Anthropic is changing how Claude Code automation usage is billed, separating it from standard subscription limits starting June 15. Programmatic uses via the Agent SDK and Claude Code GitHub Actions will now draw from distinct monthly credit pools, with unused credits expiring each cycle. While interactive use remains within existing subscription tiers, automated jobs will incur costs based on API rates once these new credits are depleted, unless a specific billing toggle is enabled.
