Anthropic announced today that starting June 15, paid Claude plans get a separate monthly credit pool for programmatic usage (claude -p, Agent SDK). Seems OK at first glance but it turns out the monthly credit pool is charged at API rates, which effectively kills any serious programmatic usage for hobbyists. This is a small Claude Code wrapper which runs claude in a PTY, injecting input, finding the session transcript jsonl file, and using a stop hook to determine when claude is done. It's a drop-in replacement for claude code. All arguments except the "-p" argument are forwarded as-is.…

As an experiment I let Claude Code write 100% of the code to begin a project management application. Total spent: $30 Time: 2hours I did this so showcase what Claude produces and to also get feedback on how well you think it did.

I hit my Claude Code usage limit yesterday in the middle of regular work. Not doing anything unusual - just a couple of coding sessions. It felt like it came out of nowhere. Then today Anthropic announced they're tightening 5-hour limits during peak hours. It feels like a rug pull is coming and we're all just supposed to accept "you've used too much" with no explanation of what "too much" means. Usage limits have always been opaque. A vague percentage bar. No dollar figure. No formula. No way to plan your work around it. So I built a proxy that captures the rate-limit headers Anthropic sends…

Hey guys, I built this platform out to allow users to passively earn crypto for non-intrusive highly targetted ads. One of the things that's awesome is that there's an option to receive payouts in Anthropic's pre-IPO stock (via PreStocks on Solana). So you can use Claude Code and receive Anthropic stock . Let me know what you guys think. Feedback is welcome and please give it a try to install.

Anthropic's usage analytics dashboard is only available to Team and Enterprise org admins. On a Pro or Max plan all you get is /usage and the claude.ai usage page, which show where you stand right now but not where you're heading. I looked at various open-source projects but none quite matched what I had in mind: an all-round control panel for Claude Code that's also a single binary, with no dependencies and no install steps. The other thing I cared about was forecasting the usage limits. Existing tools do burn-rate projections (ccusage) or percentile heuristics…
