According to VentureBeat, Anthropic recently adjusted the paid subscription tiers for Claude, introducing an 'Agent SDK' credit system. Paid users can now apply their subscription benefits to third-party open-source tools such as OpenClaw. Subscribers at each tier will receive a specific monthly quota of Agent SDK credits to cover API costs, with values ranging from $20 to $200. These credits reset monthly and cannot be carried over. When users invoke Claude through third-party tools, the quota will be consumed first, with additional fees required for usage exceeding the limit.
