Update October 7, 2026: Claude Max and Team plans now include monthly API credits, which cover the Claude Agent SDK, claude -p, the Claude API, and Claude Managed Agents. You can still use the Claude Agent SDK, claude -p, and third-party apps with your subscription limits.
Update June 15, 2026: We’ve paused the previously-announced changes to Claude Agent SDK usage. For now, nothing has changed: Claude Agent SDK, claude -p, and third-party app usage still draw from your subscription limits.
