Anthropic bundles free monthly API credits into Claude plans: $100-$500 for Max and Team
新智元 · wechat · 2026-10-11
Anthropic announced Claude subscriptions now include free monthly API credits: $100 for Max 5x, $200 for Max 20x, and up to $500 pooled for Team (built from $20/$100 per standard/premium seat). Free, Pro, and Enterprise plans are excluded, and new subscribers must wait 7 days. Credits work across all models via Messages API, batch, Playground, Managed Agents, and Agent SDK, plus any third-party tool accepting a Claude API key — but interactive Claude Code still draws on subscription usage. The move is a play to lock developers into the Claude agent ecosystem: migration costs soon exceed canceling a chat subscription.
