# Paid Claude plans get separate credit for programmatic usage

By Steven Van · 2026-05-13

Starting June 15, Agent SDK, \`claude -p\`, and GitHub Actions usage draws from its own monthly budget, from $20 on Pro to $200 on Max 20x.

Starting **June 15**, paid [Claude](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/claude>) plans get a separate monthly credit for programmatic usage: the Claude Agent SDK, \`claude -p\`, Claude Code GitHub Actions, and third-party apps built on the Agent SDK. That usage draws from its own budget instead of sharing the subscription's interactive rate limits.

Credits by plan:

- **Pro**: $20/month

- **Max 5x**: $100/month

- **Max 20x**: $200/month

- **Team Standard**: $20/seat

- **Team Premium**: $100/seat

- **Enterprise**: varies by seat type

The credit resets each billing cycle with no rollover. Third-party tools such as Conductor and OpenClaw that work with a Claude plan also draw from it. See the [announcement](<https://x.com/i/status/2054610152817619388>) for details.
