Note that this is Anthropic Trojan-Horsing the previously announced June change in with a model release, where the Claude Agent SDK can no longer be used with Claude subscriptions and is now billed with API credits only.

Sorry for the misleading wording on this page; we’ve updated it to clarify that the Claude Agent SDK can still be used with subscriptions.
replyYep they're definitely getting ready to yank using your subscription with the agent SDK - this page has just been pulled: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15036540-use-the-clau...
replyThat's not a good sign for Conductor...
this is a common question. we're updating the faq now to make sure it's more clear
replyUpdate: We just updated the docs to clarify how API credits can be used w/ claude -p: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15036540-use-the-clau...
Ah, that sucks. I'm using Paseo to run Claude Code; I guess that just got a whole lot more complicated.

replyThanks for sharing this!
These vendor lock-in attempts are very annoying.
replyyeah totally agree. esp how efficient it can be to have a subscription quota-paid orch spin up a bunch of API agents, this is kind of like free money to encourage what was already an easy way to save money (via batch pricing)
reply> Being able to actually use my Claude plan for other harnesses
replyWait what? This has gotten their blessing?
You could always use Claude models on other harnesses via API... just not via subscription. Now they give you $100 worth of API tokens to use on opencode or Pi. Which is better, but still not the same as OpenAI were you can use the subscription on Pi without problems.
replyAbsolutely not.
