It is pretty obviously no. API keys billed by the token, yes, Oauth to the flat rate plans no.
> OAuth authentication (used with Free, Pro, and Max plans) is intended exclusively for Claude Code and Claude.ai. Using OAuth tokens obtained through Claude Free, Pro, or Max accounts in any other product, tool, or service — including the Agent SDK — is not permitted and constitutes a violation of the Consumer Terms of Service.
- MillionOClock 8mo agoIf you look at this tweet [1] and in particular responses under it, it still seems to me like some parts of it need additional clarification. For instance, I have seen some people interpret the tweet as meaning using the OAuth token is actually ok for personal experimentation with the Agent SDK, which can be seen as a slight contradiction with what you quoted. A parent tweet also mentioned the docs clean up causing some confusion. None of this is legal advice, I'm just trying to understand what exactly is allowed or not.

- adastra22 8mo agoRead the actual ToS. What you describe is NOT allowed.
- eclipxe 8mo agoThat tweet is from a product leader on Claude Code itself...
- kahnclusions 8mo agoA tweet is not a ToS.
- AlotOfReading 8mo agoThen they should speak to legal about fixing the ToS before making public statements about their intentions with it. It won't look good to show up at arbitration and have to explain why your public comms contradict your ToS.

- croes 8mo agoWhat flatrate? Pro and Max are both limited
- margalabargala 8mo agoFlat rate does not imply unlimited.
- croes 8mo ago>A flat fee, also referred to as a flat rate or a linear rate refers to a pricing structure that charges a single fixed fee for a service, regardless of usage.
- margalabargala 8mo agoThat's one definition. There are others. I'm sure you can use context clues to figure this one out. You're so close! Just put the pieces together.
- croes 8mo agoThere are no other definitions that‘s why they why internet flat rates got throttled instead of capped. Throttling is the loop bole because you paid for usage not for speed but flat rate with a cap is simply a lie.

- HDThoreaun 8mo agoThat you are buying a bundle and it doesnt matter how much of the bundle you use you pay the same amount every billing period?
