Summary
Anthropic has removed access to its AI coding tool Claude Code from the $20/month 'Pro' subscription plan for new users, though existing Pro users appear to still have access. This appears to be a cost-cutting measure following recent changes to enterprise pricing models. The company claims it's running a small test affecting about 2% of new prosumer signups, while support documentation now exclusively references accessing Claude Code via the 'Max Plan' rather than both Pro and Max plans.
