Anthropic allows third-party agents to reconnect to the Claude subscription, but adds a separate quota limit.

Huoxun Finance reports that Anthropic has announced a new Agent SDK billing policy effective June 15, 2026. Under the new policy, third-party Agent tools such as OpenClaw can reconnect to the Claude subscription, but will need to use a separate, dedicated monthly credit limit, no longer shared with the regular chat credit limit. Previously, in April 2025, Anthropic restricted third-party tools from using Claude subscription credit limits to prevent abuse. This adjustment is the final solution to that controversy, completely isolating Agent calls from the regular chat credit limit. Specifically, the credit limit is $20 per month for Pro users, $100 for Max 5x and Advanced Team, and up to $200 for Max 20x and Advanced Enterprise. This credit limit can only be used for third-party applications, self-built Agent projects, and claude-p background command calls, and is refreshed monthly. Any amount exceeding the limit will be charged at the standard API rate.
