This is actually a compelling argument for Claude Code getting the discount but not extending it to other cases. Claude Code, being subsidized by the company, is incentivized to minimize token usage. Third parties that piggyback on the same flat rate subscription, are not. i.e. Claude code wants you to eat less.

Of course, I don’t believe at all that this is why Anthropic has blocked this use case. But it is a reasonable argument.
