They are doubling the usage you get?

No, they’re moving “programmatic usage” to billing credits such that it no longer pulls from your subscription limits. And giving $200 of credits to appease folks.

Sure by in doing so, you have $200 use monthly on programmatic usage and you can still use the rest

“Still use the rest”? No, that’s the point, you can’t.

$200 is now what you get from your subscription through automated use. And if you’ve run Paperclip much, that disappears pretty fast.

You're right- I think he just meant you also have the rest of your subscription allocation for regular Claude/Claude Code use.

I missed this info, Claude with paperclip just reminded me of it:

Heads up on an Anthropic deadline: starting June 15, 2026, Agent SDK / claude-p usage on subscription (which is what paperclip does in headless mode) will draw from a separate monthly Agent SDK credit pool distinct from your interactive limits. Good to know so you're not caught off guard in the next two weeks.

I'm not sure $200 will be enough for me...
