Project
Anthropic's web dashboard for developers to manage API keys, billing, usage tracking, and credits for building with Claude models.
Anthropic retires the claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 model id on November 30, 61 days after its deprecation notice, according to a dev.to walkthrough. Its replacement, claude-sonnet-5-5, costs the same, so the remaining work is finding every key and config that still pins the old string.
Reality
Anthropic now includes monthly Claude API credits in Max and Team plans, with Team seats pooled into one balance capped at $500. Whichever Console organization an owner links decides whether that money pays for new internal agents or offsets an API bill the company already pays.
Reality
Anthropic is opening Claude Startups to more founders, with $1,000 in API credits that expire in six months and work only on its own Console. Partners supply the larger sums, so Anthropic's own spending is small and kept off AWS Bedrock and Google's Vertex AI.

Anthropic's expanded Claude Startups offer puts $6,000 of its $7,000 headline in Claude Team seats, with $1,000 of API credit that lapses after six months. What it is worth to a founder depends on eligibility and on whether a Marketplace listing brings customers.
Reality
Zero-data-retention organizations that want Anthropic's covered models will have to turn retention on workspace by workspace from June 9, 2026, with prompts and outputs held for 30 days for misuse analysis.
Reality
The docs now state a distribution: $150 to $250 per developer per month, with 90% of users under $30 per active day. The outliers are where the budget fight actually happens.
