Sorry that that help center article was misleading; we’ve updated it to clarify that `claude -p` has not been removed from subscriptions as part of this change!

That's super encouraging to hear, thank you for the clarification! I'd edit my original comment, but the edit window has unfortunately run out on it. Should be OK, though, since the help desk page is now explicit about it.

Are you able to speak about the degree to which non-Claude harness use is discouraged? Has Anthropic's disdain towards non-Claude Code harnesses settled down since the compute crunch + OpenClaw heydey?

More importantly, will my personal company account get banned for using a non-Claude Code harness?

Not sure if you're able to answer these questions, but I would appreciate it if you can.

I've been operating under the pretense that claude -p was removed ages ago in the OpenClaw era, it's back now? What a mess of contradictory information, hope yall can figure it out

  • They never actually made the change. Using -p with a subscription has worked all along.

    • At one point they definitely turned it off and gave us a one-time credit to claim for -p, after which Claude -p was billed as extra usage

Was it ever? I thought that whole thing was paused. Still unclear if personal use of agent sdk inside a harness is allowed.

  • I've been using `claude -p` for personal use for a long time without issues. I do mean actual irregular, personal use though. Not using it to max out my quota, using it as main rather than sub or trying to be cheeky with it.
