Anthropic: Claude Agent SDK and headless 'claude -p' usage no longer counts toward plan limits

Effective June 15, Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise plans get a fixed monthly 'Agent SDK credit' pool ($20 Pro, $100 Max 5x, $200 Max 20x, $20 Team Standard, $100 Team Premium). When exhausted, SDK and headless usage continues at standard API rates; unused credit does not roll over.

Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.

Why it matters

Useful for any team running Claude Code in CI, scheduled tasks, or third-party tools that auth against a Claude plan. Bursty SDK workflows will now hit a credit ceiling. Monitor with /usage in Claude Code and decide whether to keep subscription auth separate from API keys.
