Claude Agent SDK Monthly Credits Launching June 15 for All Paid Plans

Anthropic confirmed that Claude Agent SDK monthly credit allocations will launch on June 15 for all paid plans. Credits cover claude -p invocations, user-built scripts and agents, and qualifying third-party SDK applications including OpenClaw and Conductor. Credits are separate from regular usage limits, reset each billing cycle with no rollover, and scale from $20/month (Pro) to $200/month (Max 20x) and seat-based Enterprise tiers.

Why It Matters

A metered SDK credit allocation at the plan level formalizes the agentic use case as a first-class billing tier—distinct from conversational usage. This enables developers to build production agent workflows on individual plans rather than requiring custom API agreements.
