Third-party Claude harnesses will now draw from extra usage

9•iBelieve•3h ago
An email I just received from Claude:

We’re offering you a one-time credit for extra usage to your account, equal to your monthly subscription price. Redeem it here by April 17. Once claimed, it’s good for 90 days across Claude Code, Claude Cowork, chat, or third-party harnesses connected to your account.

You’re also now able to pre-purchase bundles of extra usage at up to 30% off. If you ever run past your subscription limits, this is the easiest way to keep going.

One note: starting April 4, third-party harnesses like OpenClaw connected to your Claude account will draw from extra usage instead of from your subscription. If you don’t use them, nothing changes. If you do, the credit and bundles above have you covered.

Thanks for building with Claude.

That makes a lot more sense than banning them outright - this way, customers have one place to manage their Claude credits instead of having inexplicably separate API and Claude.ai billing. Now I hope they put together an official way to access Claude.ai via OAuth or the like, so third-party software has a easy way to integrate with this extra usage system w/o reverse engineering.
