Free guides, interactive tools, and deeper resources for Claude Code operators facing Anthropic's Agent SDK monthly credit change.
Before June 15, a Claude Code subscriber running claude -p automation drew from the same usage pool as their interactive session. After June 15, the Agent SDK path draws from a separate monthly dollar credit, sized by plan. Beyond the credit, calls bill at standard API rates (if extra-usage is enabled) or stop (if it is not).

| Plan | New monthly SDK credit |
|---|---|
| Pro / Team Standard | $20/mo |
| Max 5x / Team Premium / Enterprise (usage-based) | $100/mo |
| Max 20x / Enterprise (seat-based Premium) | $200/mo |
| Direct API key only | Unaffected |
Community reaction in the first 24 hours after the May 13 announcement: approximately 4,039 points across r/ClaudeCode, r/ClaudeAI, and Hacker News. Multiple independent operators report 10x effective cost increase for typical heavy-SDK workloads.
5-question interactive aid. Outputs your projected post-cliff monthly bill, credit utilization, and a recommended path in 30 seconds. All browser-side, no signup.
5問の interactive な道具の日本語版。月の請求の予測と推奨の経路を返す。すべて browser 内で完結。
5問の入力 (plan / M の値 / 自動化の頻度 / 予算の余地 / 技術の整備の余地) から、 4経路 (対話への畳み込み / claude -p の最適化 / API への移行 / 混在) のうち1経路を推奨。 上の Path Finder が「いくら超過するか」 を、 本道具が「どの経路を選ぶか」 を articulate する補完の関係。
The structured response framework. Four paths, the single number that picks between them, the opt-in trap, the 32-day timeline (measure → decide → implement → verify).
5 effective-usage rows × 5 alternative platforms. Shows where Cursor Ultra and Codex Pro 20x absorb workloads that post-cliff Claude Code Max would charge $1,000-1,500/mo overage on.
日本語の整理。単一の指標 M、4つの経路、加入の落とし穴、32日の時系列。Max 5x で `claude -p` の自動化を運用している利用者の判断の整理。
The single piece that walks through what changes, the M number, all four paths (consolidation / claude -p optimization / API migration / mixed routing) with their fit + don't-fit articulation, and the 15-minute pre-flight audit. Embeds the path picker and credit cliff calculator as the operator-side flow.
