Anthropic "pauses" token-based billing for its Claude Agent SDK

Anthropic has paused its planned billing changes for heavy users of its Claude Agent SDK, which would have significantly increased costs by switching to API rates. The company is now working on updates to better support user needs while the current generous usage limits remain in place, offering relief to developers who rely heavily on the SDK but may face cost increases in the future as Anthropic prepares for a potential IPO.
