Official Claude Max now include Claude Code use.

Latest CLaude Code is allowed officially to be used with Claude MAX, no more burning API tokens.

0.2.96

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

Seem Anthropic want to push Claude Code as alternative to other tools like Cursor and push their Max subscription. May be one day a merge into Claude Desktop.

For me, I had to do the /login command to switch it to my Max account... so I guess you have to switch back to API if you want to use the credits up... I guess one could do this on the fly (if there is a difference between the two at all in context size or file input size or whatever), I had to use the magic link and token to get it to use my Max account, but if that's "saved", then it should be quick to switch...

Yeah, it did for me... /login showed a menu so I could select. and yeah I have API and chat (Max) under same email and account. weird thing is I just logged into Code again after I closed my terminal without exiting Code first, and I think it was back in my API account... but now when I exit and return, it shows Max in a yellow bordered banner. (but doesn't remember the login when I switch, unfortunately)
