API credits for Max, Ultra, and Team plans
Anthropic bundled monthly Claude API credits into Claude Max, Ultra, and Team subscriptions, with allowances ranging from $100 for Max to $500 pooled across Team accounts.
Subscribers previously paid separately for Claude consumer subscriptions and developer API usage. Under the new benefit, Max subscribers receive $100 monthly, Ultra subscribers receive $200, and Team plans pool $20 per Standard seat and $100 per Premium seat up to a $500 monthly limit. Users claim the credits by linking a Claude Console organization to their subscription, and unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle without rollover.
