# Coding sessions: environments, browser use, and updated pricing

By Steven Van · 2026-08-20

Linear Agent can now set up, run, and test your code before returning its work.

Coding sessions in [Linear](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/linear>) can now set up, run, and test code before handing it back, rather than returning work for a person to run first. Linear also cut pricing for coding sessions and made costs easier to track.

- **Configurable environments:** sessions detect and install the toolchains and dependencies a task needs, with broader out-of-the-box support for Python, Ruby, Go, and more. Teams can pin runtime versions, add setup scripts, and define environment variables by creating an environment in settings.

- **Browser testing:** once the app is running, the agent opens it, navigates through a flow, and verifies the implementation, capturing before-and-after screenshots. If it finds a problem, it can fix it, rerun the test, and return the work with that validation complete.

- **Updated pricing:** coding sessions now charge for model usage at the provider's published rates with no markup, plus sandbox runtime at **$0.25 per 20-minute block**. The usage dashboard breaks down token usage and cost by model, and admins can set workspace-wide or per-user spend limits that reset daily, weekly, or monthly.

Details on both features and on AI credit pricing are in the [full changelog entry](<https://linear.app/changelog/2026-08-20-coding-environments>).
