incorrect, you can pay per API call instead if you want.

Claude Code can spend from your API balance, but you still need a subscription to authenticate with the @anthropic-ai/claude-code tool. Or has that changed and it's not being communicated well here?
- bananapub 1y agobecause it's a document in the "Max Plan" section of their website. https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code explains you can pay per token or pay monthly. they are definitely not doing a good job on the release - that page doesn't mention Pro including it, and it's not actually available on Pro yet for half a dozen posters on this thread.
- hombre_fatal 1y agoHmm, I stand corrected. I remember needing a subscription just to authenticate with the Claude Code tool (at least when it came out) even though it spends from my API balance kinda felt like a scam. I wonder how the pricing works out between using Opus in Claude Code pay-as-you-go vs the $100/mo plan. All I remember is easily spending $25 in a Claude Code session if I let the context stay too big. So maybe the sub isn't a bad deal.
