Claude's cloud sessions don't cost extra — bonus credits are cloud-only tokens
stablequan · x · 2026-10-02
- Responding to concerns that Claude's cloud sessions aren't cheap, stablequan clarifies: cloud usage doesn't cost extra, it draws from your own token usage.
- Unlike OpenAI's reset approach, Anthropic grants extra credits usable only on the cloud — effectively more tokens to burn, restricted to cloud.
- As summarized: "we give you some extra tokens to burn, but you have to use it on the cloud."
