Claude: Monthly API credits for Max and Team plans

Max and Team subscriptions include monthly Claude Platform API credits for building apps and agents with the Claude API, Playground, Claude Managed Agents, and the Claude Agent SDK. Credit amounts: Max 5x = $100/month, Max 20x = $200/month, Team Standard = $20 per seat, Team Premium = $100 per seat (discounted Team plans use the same per-seat rates). Team seat credits are pooled into one balance, capped at $500/month. Eligibility requires an active Max or Team plan, seven days on the plan, and specific roles (subscriber for Max; Primary Owner/Owner for Team on claude.ai and Owner/Admin/Billing in the Console). To claim credits you link a single Claude Console organization via claude.ai billing settings; each plan can link only one organization and each organization can receive credits from only one plan.

Credits refresh monthly after billing, don’t roll over, and are applied before any purchased credits; everyone with an API key in the linked organization draws from the same pool. Credits don’t cover interactive Claude Code sessions, overages in Claude/Claude Code/Claude Cowork, or usage on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry. If credits are exhausted and no purchased credits or auto-reload exist, API requests stop until the next cycle (invoiced Enterprise accounts are billed as usual). Plan changes stop future credits; existing credits remain until expiry. Workspace spend limits can restrict who spends team credits.
