Will Claude Agent SDK usage be billed at Anthropic's API rates instead of counting against Claude subscription weekly caps?

🤖 Context

YES if, no later than September 30, 2026, Anthropic's public pricing or support pages, or an official Anthropic announcement, clearly state that Claude Agent SDK usage is metered and billed at Anthropic's API pricing rates and is no longer counted under standard Claude subscription weekly caps. The evidence should include pricing or sample billing entries showing Agent SDK billed at API rates. Otherwise NO. Announcing only a pilot, temporary trial, a region-limited experiment, or saying the company plans to change does not count.
