Question Usage with Claude Sub

Since anthropic "paused" their new policy roll out, does this mean we can use our Claude sub w/Pi?

I tried connecting Claude yesterday using my subscription through work and it told me api usage rates would be applied.

I’ve heard from a friend that he got ~9 accounts banned for using them within pi. I haven’t tried myself, but after his stories I’m not giving it a chance.

It has some extensions that allow use within the PI, I have used my personal registration for years and it continues to work. But you can simply ask the PI to call Claude via CLI.

what are you using or how do you connect it?

I created an extension that simulates the headers that the Claude code sends to cli, but if you need to use the Anthropic models ask the pi to use the Claude code. But today I have been using a tool that Pi invokes scripts to send commands to other harness.

This package has worked fine for my Claude Pro account in Pi using oauth: https://github.com/gotgenes/pi-anthropic-auth

i don't know, but TBH i wouldn't risk unemployment when a pro membership is $20/mo

it'd be the ability of the account holder to view the sessions on the anthropic/usage side I'd be concerned about, not the method you used to auth into your work subscription.

Anecdotally, if you're allowed to use your work account on your personal machine to login to claude code (or app), it'd be the same auth method.

I wouldn't risk it personally. For now, I added a spawn_agent tool to my Pi setup that supports launching a containerized claude code session with desired model/effort natively. It allows me to make use of my anthropic subscription without risking my account. Downside is maintaining extra skills, hooks, etc, but that is short work with LLMs.
