Tell HN: Starting June 15, claude -p usage will change "Starting June 15, 2026, Agent SDK and claude -p usage on subscription plans will draw from a new monthly Agent SDK credit, separate from your interactive usage limits."

Yes it is $200 a month in "credits", but their accounting is already dodgy. We know this is going to get ratcheted in some way.
The weasel writing in the post is also not appreciated.
"Claude subscription plans are now eligible to receive a monthly Agent SDK credit."
"Starting June 15, 2026, Claude Agent SDK and claude -p usage no longer counts toward your Claude plan’s usage limits."
Please Anthropic, don't treat your customers like idiots.
This new cat and mouse game is perhaps a sign of the times...
