Anthropic will introduce dedicated Agent SDK credits for paid subscribers starting June 15. This move reverses an April 2026 policy that restricted third-party agents like OpenClaw due to high system demand.
Pro subscribers will receive $20 in monthly credits. Max plan users will receive up to $200 per month.
The system separates programmatic task budgets from standard interactive chat limits. Users can pay standard API rates once they exhaust their monthly credits.
