Monthly Claude API credits
Monthly Claude Platform credits for any available Claude model in your apps or third-party harnesses using the Claude API, plus the Playground, Managed Agents and Agent SDK. Team receives $20 per Standard seat and $100 per Premium seat, pooled up to $500/month. Credits refresh each billing cycle (monthly on annual plans); unused credits expire each cycle. They do not increase subscription limits or cover interactive Claude Code, extra usage in Claude or Cowork, or third-party cloud providers.
Who qualifies · How to get it
- Who qualifies
- Max and Team subscriptions in good standing, including discounted Team plans, after seven days on the plan. Free, Pro and Enterprise are excluded. Rolling out over a few days, so eligible accounts may not see it yet. No payment card is needed on Claude Platform.
- How to get it
- On claude.ai in a web browser, open Settings > Billing (Max) or Organization settings > Billing (Team Primary Owner or Owner).
- In API credits, select Link organization. Choose or create a Console organization where you have the Owner, Admin or Billing role.
- Review the Supplemental Credit Terms and link the organization. Only one organization can be linked, and each can receive credits from one plan. Changing it later requires support.
- Check the balance and expiry in Console Settings > Billing. Everyone with an API key in the linked organization shares the credits; monthly credits are spent before purchased credits.
- When credits run out, purchased credits or auto-reload cover further usage; otherwise API requests stop until the next grant. Invoiced organizations are billed as usual. Your Claude plan is never charged for API usage.
