Anthropic tested removing Claude Code from its $20/month Pro plan for 2% of new signups, causing confusion among developers as the pricing page temporarily showed it as unavailable. The company clarified it was exploring pricing adjustments due to significantly increased usage patterns since launching advanced features. The test was quickly reverted after user backlash.
Background
Anthropic's Claude is a leading AI assistant with specialized coding capabilities (Claude Code) offered through tiered subscription plans. AI service pricing structures are evolving rapidly as usage patterns intensify with new features like long-running agents.
