Before the doomers come in, you get $200 in API credits every month for claude -p usage. Usage counts against those API credits. This is a nothing burger.

- ramoz 6mo agoThis is much of a something burger for users who actively use `claude -p` under their subscription. Users will have to do their own math, but that 200 could come and go quite fast and then you're hitting normal API rates versus what you had previously been hitting. https://x.com/jeremyphoward/status/2054682882753597603?s=20 https://x.com/jeremyphoward/status/2054682882753597603?s=20
- solenoid0937 6mo agoSure, but if you spend that many tokens you're probably a pretty big net loss for the company anyways. No company will subsidize that level of compute for you indefinitely.
- ramoz 6mo agoYea that's fine and understandable. But like I said, this is something for those users. I launch many review processes locally with `claude -p`
- user34283 6mo agoNo. I just use claude -p to review some Codex output. The Pro plan is barely enough for this after the doubling of usage limits.
- gcr 6mo agoYou're not understanding the difference between API billing and subscirption billing. Subscription usage refills every five hours. API billing doesn't.
- Shadowmist 6mo agoBefore we got $0 for API usage and banned if caught trying to use a subscription for API stuff, but now there is monthly credit for API.
- paulddraper 6mo agoThis is definitely not a nothing burger. $200 of on-demand usage credits is much, much, much less than what they were getting with $200 subscription. Maybe "good," maybe "bad," but definitely, definitely not a nothing burger.
