No, Anthropic spends a lot of effort to keep you from churning through those tokens with any binary other than their own.
replyAllowing users to take advantage of their monthly/weekly/daily token limits with the software of their choosing is a perfectly valid expectation.
Restricting it to their own underperforming, buggy TUI client is textbook walled garden.

This isn't hard to understand. The cost you pay for subsidized tokens is lock-in. If you don't want lock-in, there's the API.
This isn't egregious or wrong or anything. It's exactly what you'd expect out of a heavily subsidized product option.
