Anthropic has paused a billing change for developers using its Claude Agent SDK through a paid subscription, pulling back on the day it was scheduled to go live. The change, announced in May, would have split usage allowances, moving Agent SDK usage to a separate capped monthly credit for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers, ranging from $20 for Pro users up to $200 for top-tier Max and Enterprise seats. For third-party tools like Zed, subscriptions had previously subsidized that usage at roughly 15 to 30 times the equivalent API cost, with new credits billed at full API rates. On Monday, Anthropic started emailing subscribers saying the planned change was off, and its support documentation has been updated, confirming that Agent SDK usage continues to draw from standard subscription limits. The announcement follows a turbulent week for Anthropic, including the June 9 release of Fable 5 and Mythos 5, which were later pulled for all customers worldwide after the US government issued an export control directive.
